Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Wonderful aroma. Pungent, smoke-accented, rounded.

Palate: Full maltiness, slightly syrupy, with sourness and a very big pepperiness developing.

Finish: Very peppery, huge, long.

Comment: Always a classic, though I still miss the 8 Years Old.

Score: 9

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: A razor-sharp spiciness lances through demerara sweetness and rich peat. Absolutely magnificent.

Palate: The enormous build up of spice adds to the multi-layered peat. The sweetness is almost like freshly crushed grist. Wave upon wave, layer upon layer of complexity.

Finish: Massively warming and still spicy. The peat lingers while the spice bristles.

Comment: A dram to be savoured and celebrated.
