Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Malty, very scented, cake-like. Linseed.
- Palate
- Big. Notably firm-bodied. Malty. Cereal grains. Toasted sesame seeds. Demerara sugar and raisins. Honey. There even seems to be a hint of chilli in there somewhere.
- Finish
- Soothing. Long. Developing slight lemon grass and peatiness.
- Comment
- If you want to taste barley in a blend, look no further than this muscular heavyweight.
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Well-balanced nose with sherried notes of orange, nutmeg, wine gums and vanilla. Water introduces a heathery/earthy smoke note.
- Palate
- Chewy. It's well balanced and juicy but with little jabs of citrus to keep you interested.
- Finish
- Long and mellow, starts cakey then comes pepper.
- Comment
- A fine, well-weighted pretty lush blend.
