Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Leather-like. Saddlery. Orange skins.
Palate
Fruits, nuts, sugared almonds. Silky-smooth. Well-rounded.
Finish
Juicy. Lively. Late touch of peppery earthiness.
Comment
The aroma that I associate with a traditional Irish. A superb example for everyday drinking.

Jim Murray

Nose
This offers the lot: sherry, fine pot still, lighter grains, a dash (but no more) of oak.
Palate
Firm, Oily and spicy at first, then wonderful interlocked spice and sherry. A bittersweet heart.
Finish
Long, pretty lush, drying towards cocoa, vanilla and toast.
Comment
Never lets you down and offers the most old-fashioned and complex of Irish blended character. No nonsense but stunningly beautiful.
