Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Minty rye notes.
Palate
Firm but smooth. Milk chocolate.
Finish
More complex and lively than its younger brothers.
Comment
Much more character.

Dave Broom

Nose
Big, deep mature notes: white mushroom, molasses, toffee, vanilla/butterscotch, black fruits with teasing spiciness. Leathery and oaky, but balanced with smooth coffee and cream.
Palate
Smooth and elegant, sweet deep and slow: cigar smoke, raspberry, soft centred yet spicy.
Finish
Big and long.
Comment
Sophisticated sipping stuff for long evenings. Leonard Cohen.
