Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Light, fruity, rummy.
Palate
Sweet. Raisins. Vanilla.
Finish
Crisp, dry.
Comment
Light in both flavour and body for a small batch bourbon. Clean, crisp, enjoyable.

Jim Murray

Nose
Usually fruity and a little minty, floral character, citrus lingers with the vanilla, rye and sandalwood.
Palate
The flavours unravel in slow motion: soft rye then a slight malty character and then fuller corn.
Finish
Cocoa enriches the final moments that have been sweetened by a light molasses.
Comment
Perhaps the lightest Elmer T Lee of the dozens I have savoured.
