Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Rich and deep. Leather armchairs, walnut, dark fruit and tobacco. Oaky as it opens.

Palate: Big and thick. Starts sweetly with a gingery lift. Great balance between old scuffed leather, nutty toffee and spicy rye.

Finish: Long if a little woody.

Comment: A great old-style sippin' bourbon and a great base for an Old Fashioned.

Score: 8.3

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Very aromatic. Flowery. Nuts. Marzipan.

Palate: Light-bodied but very fruity indeed. Reminiscent of fruitcake with candied orange peels.

Finish: Light, clean. Vanilla pods.

Comment: Easy drinking, but worth more than a moment's thought.

Score: 7.5
