Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Absolute class! A cluster of berry-fruits add to the complexity.

Palate: Sexy, voluptuous mouthfeel with the honey taking off early then a more estery fruitiness and a big build up of malt.

Finish: Hints of cocoa underline the age and the bitter/sweet honey oak finish lasts forever.

Comment: A restrained malt for all its massive complexity and depth.

Score: 8.8

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Sherry. Peaches and cream.

Palate: Sherryish nuttiness and sweetness at first, but the drier distillery character gradually emerges. Lots of flavour development.

Finish: Rounded, spicy (aniseed?) with a lovely peaty warmth.

Comment: After dinner.

Score: 8.5
