Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Cocoa powder. Black chocolate. Parma violets.
Palate
Toasty. Slightly flat.
Finish
Creamy. Toffeeish. Very late spicy lift.
Comment
The family propensity to fall asleep seems to have struck in the bottle; given a chance to breathe and a drink of water, it comes back to life.

Dave Broom

Nose
Dry and mature, but slightly austere. Oak shavings, coffee bean, walnut whip, marzipan. Woody.
Palate
Complex spirit that's been clamped in an oaky grip. tannic and gripping.
Finish
Dry, splintery. Hint of sweetness behind.
Comment
The elegance of youth obliterated by the oak.
