Don't look for a big array of flavours: just variations on a theme, and most of them quite lovely.

Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: A little strained, honey-suckle sweetness.

Palate: Immediate bittersweet complexity.

Finish: Getting seriously old, but the oak remains the right side of delicious.

Comment: Don't look for a big array of flavours: just variations on a theme, and most of them quite lovely.

Score: 7.8

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Almonds, passion fruit.

Palate: Quite full in body and palate. Firm, dry, malt background. Toasty. Very spicy.

Finish: Long. A very late crescendo. Warming.

Comment: It is more substantial than people think, as this bottling shows.

Score: 8
