Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Wonderfully fresh and clean but not without character: grassy malt and crushed pine nuts. Mouth-wateringly beautiful.

Palate: Drier on the palate, the vanilla bites early but is still unable to dampen that succulent grassiness.

Finish: Finely balanced but frying with oaky-cocoa notes. Very long finale.

Comment: Impressive, smokeless and delicate for its age. A finely tuned malt.

Score: 8.3

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Peatier.

Palate: Firmer. Green, oily, becoming dry and leafy.

Finish: More assertive pepper and mustard.

Comment: The most oily of the three, and very assertive in the finish.

Score: 8.3
