Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Fresh, herbal. Clover and honey. Creamy.

Palate: Light, clean, grassy. A hint of straw.

Finish: Flowery dryness, quite drying.

Comment: Rounder than a previous Signatory bottling at 1972.

Score: 7.8

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Floral rather than fruity, there is also a deep sweetness on which the malt hangs.

Palate: A momentary dryness is washed away with an incredible wave of honeyed sweetness.

Finish: The finish is drier, quite toasty and with a late arrival of slightly burnt honeycomb-chocolate.

Comment: A typical Perthshire-style honey-ball. Perhaps too sweet for some palates but it holds its age brilliantly.

Score: 8.5
