Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Fruity and toffeeish. Polished oak.

Palate: Lighter-bodied than the full colour might suggest, but firm and textured.

Finish: Hint of char. Firm and clinging.

Comment: A bourbon of some presence and elegance. With dessert, or after dinner?

Score: 8

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Toast and marmalade with coffee.

Palate: Dry and spicy start. The oak is pierced by a decent corn richness that hangs on the oily middle.

Finish: Remains vanilla-rich and oaky.

Comment: A busy, beautifully constituted bourbon that gracefully defies the years.

Score: 8
