Michael Jackson
87- Nose
- Red summer fruits. Cherry pits. Almonds.
- Palate
- Big, firm, smooth. Much drier than a typical Turkey, or any other bourbon. Flowery. Lavender.
- Finish
- An explosion of dry, cedary flavours.
- Comment
- I like this very much, for its complexity and originality. As a bourbon? The useful phrase ‘something else' comes to mind.
Dave Broom
85- Nose
- Heavy and powerful. Rum-like: black fruits, molasses sugar. Caramelised orange, leather and dark chocolate (mint?). Black honey. Woody notes.
- Palate
- Massively powerful, sits on the tongue like a grizzly bear. Chestnut honey but with a teasing savoury edge and a lift from the rye.
- Finish
- A little woody, then sweet spices.
- Comment
- All the power you expect from this distillery. Late at night.
