Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 10 by Michael Jackson and Jim Murray.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Real bourbon vanilla, witha touch of candy-store sweetness.
Palate
Firm, malty, sweet. Some malty fruitiness (apricot?). A suggestion of cilantro.
Finish
Liquorice. Rooty.
Comment
Less structured than might be expected in a 12 Years Old, but a perilously drinkable, appetising bourbon.

Jim Murray

Nose
Just about nudging perfection: salty but balanced infused with delicate fruity notes.
Palate
Rye hits every corner of the mouth: light oils and myriad oaky, complex notes to the roof.
Finish
Slow build up of slightly molassed sweetness and vanilla leaves a lingering, smoky, phenolic finale.
Comment
This (along with Evan Williams 12) is the finest whisky from the house of Heaven Hill.
