Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Perfumy sherry. Walnuts. Apricots. Palate Rich, rummy. Dark chocolate with fruit and nuts. Finish Satisfying. Lingering smokiness. Comment Seductive, but it is all done with great finesse.

Dave Broom Nose Initially quite dry, then juicy malt and overripe pulpy fruit begins to take over. Muscovado sugar, chocolate, a light winey/black fruit, then orange fruit pastilles. Juicy! Palate Good start mixing sweet malty weight with those black fruits within a fairly firm oak frame. Medium-bodied and rich with a soft feel. Finish Oakiness increases, then smoke. A bit short? Comment Charms on the nose but a bit too oaky.
