Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Flowery-fruity. Dry. Camomile. Lemon grass.

Palate: Firm, smooth, lightly creamy. Delicately sweet in the middle. Icing sugar. Wonderfully subtle, complex and teasing. Becoming dry.

Finish: Hint of burnt sugar and sulphur.

Comment: A reminder of a great Lowland malt lost.

Score: 7.8

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Wonderfully complex with a maltiness punctuated by a series of grassy, spicy and coal-smoky notes. Fabulously delicate.

Palate: Mouth watering at first; a wonderful display of light and heavy malt tones.

Finish: Drying with some soft vanilla-caramel notes.

Comment: A flawless example of the most luscious and complex Lowlander of them all. Should be bottled at least 43% abv, though, to highlight the full complexity.

Score: 8.8
