Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Lightly malty. Fudgy. Palate Light butter and toffee. Finish Crisp. Peanut brittle. Comment Pleasant but a little one-dimensional.

Jim Murray Nose Delicate and immediately malty. A sound, slightly toffee-ish grain presence. Not as smoky as a few years back, but salty for an Irish. Palate A complex maltiness – both grassy and intensely barley-rich – dominates. The oak is quite drying, though a hint of wild fruit offers some extra compexity. Finish Lightly spiced, malty with some vanilla from the grain. Comment Lacks depth: a simple but pleasant blend.
