Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Sappy. Garden mint. Flowery. Palate Fresh oak. Vanilla. Fudge. Peanut brittle. Sweetish Finish Gingery. Drier. Comment Good flavour development. Well balanced.

Jim Murray Nose Excellent rye bite to firm and sweet nose. Fruity: mature plums and over ripe banana star. Palate Rye kicks off early and allows bitter and prickly, softly spiced, middle to ensure a characterful, multi-layered bourbon. Finish Massively complex follow through with quite enormous and beautiful chocolate notes. Comment A chocoholic's bourbon with a bigger rye firmness. Tasty stuff.
