Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: An almost papery, fruit-skin, dryness.

Palate: Starts like the layer of soft caramel in a Mars bar. Remarkably creamy. Astonishingly peach-like.

Finish: Very lively. Almost effervescent.

Comment: Lacks roundness, structure, balance. I was sorry to hear that this distillery has been closed. Temporarily?

Score: 7

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Sweet, gristy and fresh for age.

Palate: Melt in the mouth despite strength with oak and malt battling out for honours.

Finish: A very late almost subliminal hint of peat.

Comment: A charming malt, though rather shy. Easily among the top Glencadams yet bottled.

Score: 7.8
