Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Excellent complexity with diced carrots adding to the earthy, salady aroma. Some sweetness but drier than usual.

Palate: Fruity, grapey and beautifully mouthwatering: quite different from the nose. Brilliant sub-strata of peat runs throughout and adds a luscious sweetness to compliment the sultanas and spice.

Finish: Smoky and dries rapidly to allow in a cocoa effect.

Comment: A disarming malt that exudes sheer class.

Score: 8.5

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Sweet grass. Lightly peppery/mustardy.

Palate: Creamy maltiness. Big flavours. Peaty. Seaweedy-fruity.

Finish: A fresh, mustardy attack. Some salt, too.

Comment: The most rounded of this Clynelish threesome. The fuller gold colour suggests more contribution from the wood.

Score: 8.3
