Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Peaty, leafy, sappy, oaky.

Palate: Nutty, toffeeish, creamy flavours. Lacks development and complexity.

Finish: Dry.

Comment: A little woody.

Score: 8

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Sherry again, but this time fabulously clean and precise. Deftly smoked.

Palate: Dry, oaky start; malty; saltiness shows quite early. Fruit-cake richness.

Finish: Lots of oak and intense malt: bittersweet and chewy finale.

Comment: Brilliant whisky with great age.

Score: 8.5
