Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Nice touch of sherry to round its big maltiness - and a subtle hint of peat.

Palate: Luscious, clean, maltiness and barley-sugar sweetness. Moving to drier maltiness and, again, gentle peating.

Finish: Firm, smooth. Orange zest. Cinnamon. Late, light ginger.

Comment: Anyone not quite understanding the term \"malt\" should try this whisky. All will then be clear.

Score: 7.8

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Seriously unimpressive: sub-standard sherry notes topped only by a hint of smoke. Pretty grim.

Palate: Silky but otherwise bland. Very little emerges beyond the flavourless sherry except a brief, malty, smoky peat.

Finish: Caramel and vanilla. Otherwise dead.

Comment: Zzzzzzzzzzz.

Score: 6.5
