Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Honey. Honeydew melons. Palate Smooth. Honeyish. Developing appetisingly rounded rye flavours. Finish Crisp. Comment Substantially more character than the 15 Years Old.

Dave Broom Nose Floral and estery with biscuity wood, rye spice, yellow plums. Seems filled with pent-up energy. Palate Spicy yet slow-moving good mix of oily rye and fine weight. Smooth and mouthcoating, yet grippy. Finish Oak tones. Comment Seems light and approachable but carries a switchblade in its pocket. Robbie Robertson.
