Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Soft, deep. Mint cream chocolates. Palate Smooth and sweet at first. Then developing bigger flavours. Lots of oaky woody extract. Finish Very lively and and appetising. Root ginger and bitter chocolate. Comment Wild Turkey in a coat and tie.

Jim Murray Nose Loads of fruit, rye and malt. Big and bristling. Palate Rich chocolatey orange with toffee fudge but then lightens to allow the corn through. Finish More corn and dries as oak arrives. Comment Deceptively delicious: threatens to erupt but ends up relatively meek and well behaved.
