Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Thin, austere and mildly feinty.

Palate: Vanilla is the main theme and there is a fresh, fruity, mouth-watering quality.

Finish: Surprisingly long and increasingly oily. A hint of smoke adds to the complexity.

Comment: A greatly improved malt.

Score: 8.8

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Faint tobacco. Autumn leaves. Hint of pine.

Palate: Sweet. Cereal grains.

Finish: Very sweet. Cookie-like.

Comment: A totally different style from Yoichi malts. A very enjoyable, sweet, pick me up. After a round of golf?

Score: 8
