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.
