Michael Jackson
87- Nose
- Incense, beeswax, cedar, roasted coffee, ripe fruits (kumquats cherries, plums).
- Palate
- Dense. Slippery. Toasty malt. Coffee, with figs and chicory.
- Finish
- Black treacle toffee. Perhaps even maple syrup.
- Comment
- A breakfast malt? Splendidly complex, with Japanese oak adding that extra touch of distinctiveness.
