Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Clean linen. Cedar. Fresh oak. Palo cortado sherry.

Palate: Remarkably smooth. Sweet. Hints of brazil nut and apple.

Finish: Creamy. Hint of lemon pith dryness. Very delicate touch of sherry.

Comment: A lovely, complex, sophisticated malt.

Score: 8

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Very clean nose: the oak is minimal with honeyed-grassy malt. Beguiling.

Palate: A fabulous, honey-sweet infusion of tender malty notes do take on a waxy middle.

Finish: Bitter-sweet and still waxy with mounting vanilla and even a late hint of cocoa.

Comment: By no means the most complex whisky on the market, but unquestionably one of the most elegant and charming.

Score: 7.8
