Michael Jackson

72
Nose
Gentle, but quite evocative. Dessert apples. Raisin cookies. Sweet but appetising.
Palate
Light in body and flavour, but with some delicacy and complexity. Vanilla. Honey. Spicy.
Finish
Fruity flavours reminiscent of orange flower water. Drying somewhat with a hint of char.
Comment
Even the colour is pale. This is a very gentle introduction to bourbon, but with all the elements.

Dave Broom

80
Nose
High-toned, crisp and citric: lemon, lime and tangerine peel with a hint of mintiness.
Palate
Zesty. Lemon, honey and spice. Nice rye balance towards the finish.
Finish
Touch of light woodiness getting oily as rye shows its hand.
Comment
Very well-balanced. The uptown sophisticate, a discreetly charming member of the bourgeoisie.
