Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Cream soda sweetness punctuated by gluey hints.

Palate: Smooth, slightly drying. Hot and a little salty. Pastis. Mint.

Finish: Silky, warming and curiously reminiscent of mint imperials. (Drier with water).

Comment: A lot going on in this whisky; can't help thinking about a Mint Julep, though.

Score: 7.5

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Clean and crisp. Nougat, white chocolate. Dusty smell (the inside of a vacuum cleaner). Lemon chewing-gum.

Palate: Velvety, mouthcoating. Quite herbal. Distant peat. A bit harsh.

Finish: Dry, spicy. Hot chilli.

Comment: Interesting, not very well balanced but enjoyable on a cold frosty morning (or after having vacuum cleaned !).

Score: 8.3
