Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Cocoa powder. Black chocolate. Parma violets.
- Palate
- Toasty. Slightly flat.
- Finish
- Creamy. Toffeeish. Very late spicy lift.
- Comment
- The family propensity to fall asleep seems to have struck in the bottle; given a chance to breathe and a drink of water, it comes back to life.
Dave Broom
70- Nose
- Dry and mature, but slightly austere. Oak shavings, coffee bean, walnut whip, marzipan. Woody.
- Palate
- Complex spirit that's been clamped in an oaky grip. Tannic and gripping.
- Finish
- Dry, splintery. Hint of sweetness behind.
- Comment
- The elegance of youth obliterated by the oak.
