Tasting Notes

Marcin Miller

Taster

Nose: Very rounded and attractive. Warm enveloping custard. Créme anglais. Smells like whisky!

Palate: Bursts into life. Still assertive, still attacking. Tastes like whisky!

Finish: Long and very bright. Consistent. Repeat to fade.

Comment: Great balance and brilliantly structured. More please.

Score: 8.3

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Slight smokiness. Beeswax. Honey. Floral. Heathery.

Palate: Honey cake. Ginger. Spicy complexity.

Finish: Long. Gently warming. Lemony dryness. Rounded with a hint of peat.

Comment: Very sweet but the classic heather honey is balanced by the gently peaty, smoky dryness that has vanished from most Highland malts.

Score: 8.3
