Tasting notes

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Pronounced, astonishingly fresh, dry, peat.
Palate: Mint creams, then orangey.
Finish: After the creaminess, the peat surges back. Clean, sweetish, soft smokiness.
Comment: This is a wonderful whisky at 10 Years Old. I love the almost shocking hit of heavy peating.

9.0

Taster Jim Murray

Nose: Soft, sensuous, peaty tones.
Palate: Immediately sweet and oily, with a chewiness.
Finish: Bittersweet balance borders on perfection!
Comment: In my books, whisky from one of the worlds top half dozen distilleries. One of my day-to-day drams.
