Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Lightly smoky. Tequila-like. Lime. Slightly musty. Palate Light. Sugary. Icing sugar. Citrus oil. Finish Key lime pie. Pastry. Comment Such a long ageing has made the bourbon wood very dominating. The crisp, cleansing, hint of pine in the distillery bottling better suited a single grain.

Marcin Miller Nose Rich and silky. Luxurious nose with a threat of alcohol to come. Palate Mouth-watering spice but otherwise little of distinction. Finish Shorter than expected. Finishes on a high but loses flavours along the way. Comment I wasn't surprised to learn this was a single grain whisky.
