Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 21 by Michael Jackson and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Very fresh vanilla. Syrupy. Spearmint. Anis.
Palate
Soft, smooth, texture. Very fruity indeed. Begins very sweet, like tropical fruits in custard, then becomes drier and rooty.
Finish
Big, robust
Comment
Despit the 'Old', a new rye. The idea was to get closer to what the first American ryes might have been. I like the idea. Wins points for all-rye character and assertiveness.

Dave Broom

Nose
Aggressively young and feisty with high-toned, perfumed notes of lemon, new make, nut and honey.
Palate
Though intense, young and lean it sits nicely in the mouth thanks to the high proof. The rye fizzes like space dust.
Finish
Bone dry. Young
Comment
Too immaculate for today's palate? Well-made, it's evident complexity needs more time to emerge fully. Bartenders love it, but is that down to its scarcity and price?
