Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Restrained black chocolate. Cigar boxes. Hint of charcoal.
- Palate
- Very firm. Full of flavours, tightly combined. Whole almonds, marzipan. Root ginger. A touch of fresh oak, and some charcoal.
- Finish
- Very long. Flowery: violet.
- Comment
- Perhaps encouraged by the dark orange colour, the descriptors sound sweet, but the overall effect is one of flowery dryness, with great finesse.
Jim Murray
90- Nose
- Cream-toffee and honeycomb. Vanilla and other gentle oaky tones waft through. Brilliant.
- Palate
- Subtle spices warm the palate only for the honey to calm things down again. Sweetcorn, and brilliant, toasty brown-sugared depth.
- Finish
- Some deft rye; the oak adds dryness.
- Comment
- A bourbon of stunning complexity that really has improved in the last year or so as the depth has intensified. Easily among the best on the market in the UK.
