Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Toffee. Cedar. Slight peat.
Palate
Rich. Cream toffee. Fudge.
Finish
Typical Macallan 'Calvados' and flowering currant.
Comment
I prefer my Macallan with its typical sherry character.

Jim Murray

Nose
Musty and sulphur-sour. Heavy sherry but not particularly of the clean kind.
Palate
Good bittersweet balance. The sherry side doesn't gel though.
Finish
A late arrival of something orangey.
Comment
Oh what might have been...
