August 30th 2007 was a very sad day for anyone connected with Scotch Whisky. The death of the writer Michael Jackson due to Parkinson's disease was felt deeply throughout the Whisky loving world.
Michael was undoubtedly the authority on all things Whisky and as such amassed an impressive collection. As a writer, his knowledge and style still shine as a beacon to Whisky writing today and his library, of both notes and bottles reflect how highly both the industry and public thought of him.
Whisky Magazine has collected the bottles from Michael's vast collection and separated them into unopened and opened bottles. Together with Berry Bros & Rudd's spirits manager Doug McIvor, Whisky Magazine has created a unique blend using all the opened bottles yielding 1000 bottles. Some of the Whisky used in this blend is truly stunning and has made for an Whisky of great distinction.
The Michael Jackson blend was made available for the first time at Whisky Live London in February 2009 and is a true testament to the great man. A proportion of the proceeds will go to the Parkinson's Society. This Whisky is as unique as the great man himself. It will never be repeated, so this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to drink a slice of history and at the same time give a little to a very worthwhile cause.
The suggested retail price is GBP 80.--.
