Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Aromatic. Light, clean. Flowery. Nutty maltiness. Restrained peat.

Palate: Lightly malty, syrupy. Very sweet.

Finish: Drying. Faintly peaty. Very leafy. Fruity sourness. Like eating a kumquat.

Comment: An enjoyable malt, but Glendronach is capable of more.

Score: 7.5

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Light. Undiluted it's vegetal and grassy with hints of putty and soot. Water brings out a sweeter mash tun/soggy shredded wheat note, almond, dried grass with some melon.

Palate: Gentle, clean and pretty. Vanilla, smoke and a spiky citric lift.

Finish: Grassy and soft.

Comment: Attractive if light. At least someone's bottling it: Allied how about you?

Score: 7.8
