Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: A disappointingly dirty, off aroma more akin to a curry than a single malt.

Palate: Much better than the nose suggests but beyond a sweet maltiness it doesn't travel far before something thin and not quite right makes an entry.

Finish: Malty with vanilla but very little depth.

Comment: One to forget.

Score: 5.5

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Salt. Fresh limes. Citrus peel.

Palate: Lightly nutty. Creamy, oily. Clean, grassy, peat.

Finish: Fragrant.

Comment: Surprising peatiness, but without smokiness.

Score: 8
