Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Fragrant. Fruity. Leafy. Herbal. Peppery. Charred oak.
- Palate
- Nutty. Lightly toffeeish. Minty. Spicey. Dried fruits. Melon dusted with ginger.
- Finish
- Lively, refreshing.
- Comment
- A trifle sophisticated for my tastes, but a very fine rye whiskey.
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Mature and rich: caramel, dried fruit, maraschino, vin santo, coffee grounds, tobacco with allspice, cinnamon and lemon. A little woody?
- Palate
- Round and rich to start, then spicy rye takes over. Muscular stuff, though a little tannic, making it slightly bitter rather than sour.
- Finish
- Earth, red fruit, coconut.
- Comment
- Robust, extra mature stuff but maybe the wood has the upper hand.
