Michael Jackson
82- Nose
- Soft and luscious. Fruity, orangey. Chocolate. Mint.
- Palate
- Big, lively, flavours with ginger and more chocolate.
- Finish
- Especially gingery. Root ginger? More chocolate.
- Comment
- My descriptors make it sound like a dessert whisky, but it is also very appetising. Just a tad too sophisticated for me.
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- The most herbal and spicy of the WT range: wild thyme, sage, fennel, coriander, nutmeg, cumin. Also smokier than the rest with notes of molasses, chestnut honey, crème brûlée.
- Palate
- Complex and very soft. Raisin bread, butter, tupelo honey/maple.
- Finish
- Huge and everlasting. Highly complex.
- Comment
- As sexy as Isaac Hayes' Hot Buttered Soul. One to savour all night.
