Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Fragrant. Orange-zest. Light smokiness. Incense. Touch of sherry.

Palate: Light on the tongue. Oily. Emphatically clean fruitiness. Tangerines. Very lively, fresh, flavours.

Finish: Like biting into a kumquat. Then a long, fruity glow.

Comment: Refreshing and light-hearted. Almost too playful to take seriously.

Score: 7.5

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Beautifully intense malt with a cidery-apple fruitiness. Gentle oak and honey round off superbly.

Palate: Fresh, almost crisp mouthfeel with outstanding sweet maltiness and an almost Irish pot-still firm fruitiness. Mouthwatering.

Finish: Softly spiced with a long, rich malt follow-through.

Comment: Really outstanding example of massively complex, classy but undiscovered malt.

Score: 8.5
