Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- A subtle suggestion of soft liquorice, as in Pontefract cakes.
- Palate
- Light, soft, syrupy. The liquorice more emphatic now. Spanish root. Develops juicy, mouth-watering flavours. Aniseed. Coconut.
- Finish
- Soothing, relaxing.
- Comment
- A whisky for a reverie. Daydream of childhood and the local sweet-shop.
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Sweet spices with toffee, banana, cream, dried pear and fruit cake (sultana, raisin and cherry). Complex and delicious.
- Palate
- The spiciness comes right through from the start giving a subtle lift to the rich fruits, light sherry and ginger loaf.
- Finish
- Long and soft.
- Comment
- A very elegant, superbly balanced middle-weight dram.
