| Michael Jackson’s 100 point scoring system is different from wine critics’ interpretation. According to Jackson anything in the 80s ‘are, in my view, distinctive and exceptional’. Tasting Note: Primarily matured in bourbon casks, then a short period in first-fill port pipes. Colour: Reddish amber. Nose: Perfumy, fruity. Passion fruit. Raisiny. Nutty dryness. Marzipan. Body: Rich. Palate: Very complex. Toffee, creamy, winey, aniseed. Finish: Long, cedary, dry. Score - 88 (Michael Jackson, Malt Whisky Companion, 5th Edition, 2004) |
