Michael Jackson
90- Nose
- Smells like a barbecue in progress. Fat pork being cooked over applewood.
- Palate
- Rich but supple. Mature. Winey. Sherry-like.
- Finish
- Spicy. Did someone slip some Herbsaint in here?
- Comment
- Wonderfully expansive. Seems to embrace the tastes of the south, all the way from Kentucky to Louisiana.
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Huge and ripe: barley sugar/spun sugar, apricot, lashings of vanilla, orange crème brûlée – but the alcohol gives your nose a right belt.
- Palate
- Perfumed with a floral lift. Imagine flowers encased in orange blossom honey. Hickory wood.
- Finish
- Treacle, but the alcohol blurs things.
- Comment
- A huge old-style mouthful but the high-strength masks much of the subtle complexities in what is a big-boned bourbon.
