Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Creamy background aroma. Honeydew melon. Garden mint. Grass. Touch of peat.

Palate: Smooth, substantial, malty background. Biscuity, peachy, malt flavours.

Finish: Perfumy, lemony, tasty, smoky.

Comment: An interesting malt, with plenty to say, but restrained and balanced.

Score: 7.8

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Under-ripe, fresh cut apples vie with lemony citrus tones for top billing.

Palate: No bold statements here: whispers and hints of juicy melons, the most delightful of grassy malts.

Finish: Almost apologetic spice plays with the increasing oak and intensifying toffee-barley.

Comment: Unquestionably the finest non-peated offering direct from Cooley Distillery yet. A judicious choice of casks ensures sublime sophistication.

Score: 9
