Complex. A remarkable malt that thrills but saddens. Here's another light that's gone out.

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Hugely complex. Big, powerful, rich. Heathery smoke, lanolin. Sweet notes from oak, soft caramelised fruits. Also liquorice, light roasted coffee, serrano ham, candle wax and spent wick.

Palate: Fantastically complex, the notes on the nose plus a mouthfilling mix of sweet, smoky and dry.

Finish: Very long, spices, oil, fragrant smoke.

Comment: Complex. A remarkable malt that thrills but saddens. Here's another light that's gone out.

Score: 9

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Hugely aromatic. Very distinctive. Resiny. Balsamic vinegar.

Palate: Spiced olive oil. A sweet mustard, then a hot one. White pepper. Cumin. Stinging, lively, with lots of flavour development.

Finish: Salty. Medicinal. Sudden TCP/Listerine.

Comment: Those startling, appetising aromas and flavours had me cooking in a new kitchen. I must have let the Sabatier slip. Why else the TCP?
