Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Very spicy and dusty. Honeyed.
Palate
Firm. Intense sweetness at first. Then perfumy. Lemony. Anis. A hint of quinine dryness.
Finish
A touch of oakiness.
Comment
Similar to the 1841, but not quite as sophisticated.

Dave Broom

Nose
Light and malty with light pear and an earthy note. Hay-like, wholemeal flour, yeasty, slightly immature (greengage).
Palate
A softer slightly oilier texture than the nose suggests. Light and cereal-driven. No breadth or complexity.
Finish
Crisp and fairly short.
Comment
A bit young and one-dimensional. Quite disappointing.
