Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Subtle. Nutty. Almonds.
Palate
Light-bodied for this distillery. Firm, smooth, almost slippery. Lots of flavour development. Sweet then fragrantly smoky.
Finish
Rounded. Appetising.
Comment
Very urbane.

Jim Murray

Nose
A weighty nose with a depth of honey where there had once been fruit. Perplexing coastal feel for something distilled 1, 000 miles inland!
Palate
Lighter bodied than the 12, with a more simplistic oakiness. Honey and rye cling together.
Finish
Toasty with a residual rye oiliness and a soft vanilla sweetness.
Comment
A solid and charming bourbon.
