Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Oak. Slight char. Beeswax. More flowery (peach blossom) and leafy when water is added.
Palate
Surprisingly fresh. Mint toffee. Sweet tobacco.
Finish
Dusty spices. Cinnamon. Ginger. Quite sweet.
Comment
A long maturation for a blend, but this has emerged with confidence, style and sophistication.

Dave Broom

Nose
The impression is of great age. Big, mature truffley aromas: lilies tobacco, honeycomb/wax, black walnut, rancio, oak. Complex and dense.
Palate
Very soft and heavy. Honey, beeswax, beech woods, russet apple. In time a lighter nuttier side emerges. Chewy and weighty.
Finish
Dry and lightly perfumed. Heather.
Comment
Bosky, ancient.
