Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Sherry. Peaches and cream. Palate Sherryish nuttiness and sweetness at first, but the drier distillery character gradually emerges. Lots of flavour development. Finish Rounded, spicy (aniseed?)with a lovely peaty warmth. Comment After dinner.

Jim Murray Nose Absolute class! A cluster of berry-fruits add to the complexity. Palate Sexy, voluptuous mouthfeel with the honey taking off early then a more estery fruitiness and a big build up of malt. Finish Hints of cocoa underline the age and the bitter/sweet honey oak finish lasts forever. Comment A restrained malt for all its massive complexity and depth.
