Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Gorgeous honey, diced dates, old leather and rye with a teasing sprinkling of spice. Magnificent.

Palate: Massively intense launch, waxy honeycomb with fabulously controlled Demerara sweetness and an edge of rye.

Finish: Long lightly liquoriced with the honey hanging on, as does the rye and a soft build up of cocoa.

Comment: A big bourbon with the proportions being generous and almost perfectly proportioned.

Score: 9.5

Taster

Nose: Soft, oaky, fresh earth. Peaches.

Palate: Toffeeish. Fruity. Raisins. Remarkably smooth, but packed with energy and power.

Finish: Creamy, aromatic.

Comment: This is more like a supercharged Wild One. Defiantly robust, but with Devilish charm. I love it.

Score: 8.8
