Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Fragrant, with just the tiniest hint of peat. Grassy. Lemon-grass. Palate Honeydew melons. Finish Full. Firm. Juicy. Peachy maltiness. Comment Beautifully balanced with toasted dryness.

Jim Murray Nose Slightly musty, coal-gassy, but with a sultana-currant bun, spotted dick suet doughiness. Palate Archetypal Cooley malt intensity which clings to the mouth with a firm, fruity oiliness. One dimensional but rather tasty. Finish Some oakiness begins to dry out the proceedings, leaving a vanilla-banana residue. Some caramel and demerara sugar adds a lingering sweetness. Comment Hmmm...Not quite up to what it was, but still a pretty interesting and enjoyable dram.
