Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Fresh smokiness. The smell of burning hay. Earthy.
- Palate
- Sweet and salty. Firm, cereal-grain maltiness. Peanut butter on toast.
- Finish
- Orange and ginger marmalade. Satisfying. Sustaining.
- Comment
- The aromas and flavours evoke breakfast, but in a farmhouse kitchen with an open fire, rused and dashed by the winds down the chimney.
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Ripe, fruity and well balanced. Sherry, dried fruits and a hint of smoke. Water brings out a buttery edge. A lot going on.
- Palate
- Overall, a little drier than the nose suggests but with excellent, soft, mid-palate weight. Light smoke all the way through.
- Finish
- Ripe and soft.
- Comment
- Very well balanced. A lovely blend.
