Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Scenty, dry, sharp. Slightly metallic. Passion fruit.

Palate: Fruit salad, with pineapples and bananas. Custard. Crystallised oranges.

Finish: Gingery. Cloves. Warm.

Comment: Much the best North Port I have tasted.

Score: 7.3

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: An attractive, bemusing array of oaky notes running from almost imperceptible rice paper to sub-bourbony toasty, liquorice.

Palate: A sweet, spicy start that evolves into a deeply sweet and malty middle with a touch of honey.

Finish: Comparatively quick and thin, returning to the oaky theme.

Comment: One of the better North Port's you'll find: later distillations were not even remotely in this class.

Score: 8.3
