Berry Bros & Rudd release a Michael Jackson whisky
Berry Bros and Rudd have released a new limited edition whisky which has been created in honour of one of the industry's most respected professionals - Michael Jackson.
The writer and journalist, Jackson who died in 2007, wrote several influential books about beer and whisky.
His book the Malt Whisky Companion reviewed a large number whiskys and gave them a scoring from one to 100.
According to Jackson - only those with a score above 75 were ever worth publishing.
Berry Bros & Rudd spirits manager Doug McIvor and Whisky Magazine decided to honour his memory by creating a one-off, limited edition whisky in his name, with a label designed by Jackson's brother-in-law.
A unique blend was made using the opened bottles from Jackson's extensive collection of tasting samples, creating what McIvor terms as a whisky, "of great distinction."
Berry Bros & Rudd say the brand is a, "rare, exquisite blend with aromas of apples, custard cream and orange peel with lurking spice and delicate whiffs of smoke.
With a smooth and round nose-feel, the palate is succulent and balanced with some toffee, sherry notes an juicy oak.
A kick of spice bursts through to stimulate the end palate revealing a long, complex and mellow finale."
A proportion of the proceeds will go to the Parkinson Society.
