Tasting Notes

Doug McIvor

Taster

Nose: Deep and enticing, peaches and cream and a little added salt and sour.

Palate: Rounded and nutty while the cocoa and sherry are paraded.

Finish: Warm and lingering giving way to salt and oak.

Comment: Interesting and complex with some characteristics reminiscent of Scotland's other national drink.

Score: 8.3

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Dry, nutty, sherry notes, but the saltiness still comes through.

Palate: Much more voluptuous than the more familiar bourbon versions. Long, sustained, flavour development. Sherryish richness almost overpowers the distillery character.

Finish: Liquorice. rooty. Late, restrained, saltiness.

Comment: Quite heavily sherried, but the distillery character turns out to be surprisingly resilient.

Score: 8.5
