The Michael Jackson Special Blend
Limited edition bottling of 1,000 bottles Michael Jackson was perhaps the most admired whisky writer and taster the world has seen. He travelled relentlessly, seeking out whiskies from far-flung places and brought their flavours to life with unrivalled eloquence. This extremely limited world whisky produced in his honour has been blended from Michael's private collection containing whiskies from many countries and adjusted for balance to produce a very fine dram that we hope he would be proud to drink. Tasting NotesThis exquisite blend gives aromas of apples, custard creams and orange peel with lurking spice and delicate whiffs of smoke. The nose-feel is smooth and round. The palate is succulent and balanced with some toffee, sherry notes and juicy oak. A kick of spice bursts through to stimulate the end palate revealing a long, complex and mellow finale. The backgroundBerry Bros. & Rudd, Britain’s oldest wine and spirit merchant, and Whisky Magazine, the international whisky bible, have worked together to create a whisky that suitably captures Michael’s spirit and passion. The Michael Jackson Special Blend was released at Whisky Live London 2009. A proportion of the proceeds from the sale of this bottle will be donated to The Parkinson’s Disease Society, the UK’s leading charity dedicated to supporting all people affected by Parkinson’s. Charity registered in England and Wales No. 258197 and in Scotland No. SCO37554.
