Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Lively and enticing: soft peppers, citrus and oak. Superb.

Palate: Surprisingly oily for a triple-distilled malt. Mouthwateringly fresh barley and a superb crisp, slightly sweet malt-chocolate interplay - like a Malteser candy.

Finish: A sweet malt glow.

Comment: A highly sophisticated dram. Intensely malty. Has improved enormously over the last few years.

Score: 8.5

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Perfumes of lemongrass, linseed oil and vanilla.

Palate: Zest of lemon, marshmallow. Sweet but not cloying.

Finish: Vanilla, perfumy. Good balance, nicely rounded. Soothing. Long.

Comment: Very expressive when young - as might be expected from a classic Lowlander.

Score: 8.5
