Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Hint of char. Spicy rye.
Palate
Surprisingly light start. Marshmallow maltiness. Develops smooth, satisfying, nutty, flavours. Hazelnuts.
Finish
Surge of fruity, apple-like flavours. Some tannin.
Comment
Easily drinkable, appetising.

Jim Murray

Nose
Marmalade on toast: beautiful, sweet fruit, dash of soft rye and edge of saltiness.
Palate
Spicy, busy start: early arrival of cocoa but a playfully biting, taste-bud nipping charcter stars.
Finish
Loads of cocoa balances out vanilla. A dry, slightly oily but magnificently long finish.
Comment
By far the best aroma from the JBB small batch selection, and taste and finish: a classic top of the range bourbon.
