Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Rich. Powerful, Freshly cut oak.
Palate
Oaky. Sherryish (notice the full, reddish amber colour) Cakey. Marzipan.
Finish
Long. Rooty. Slightly peaty.
Comment
Big and complex. Slightly drying but avoids excessive woodiness.

Jim Murray

Nose
Bourbony and rich; over-ripe cherries and wet tobacco.
Palate
Big and fruity and then a surge of oak.
Finish
Wonderfully spicy and mouth filling.
Comment
A whisky of antiquity that has survived many years. Quite excellent.
