Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Sherry, mint, pralines. Luxurious.
- Palate
- Very rich and creamy, with just a hint of mint and cherries behind.
- Finish
- Nougat, cherry brandy, ginger, faint smoke. Definitely an afterdinner whisky.
- Comment
- A dark, luxurious, post-prandial whisky from a distillery that is producing an increasing, and impressive range.
Jim Murray
85- Nose
- Incredibly aromatic, thanks partly to a subtle peatiness. The sherry notes are concentrated and there is massive fruit ranging from mango to apples. Enormous.
- Palate
- The sherry tries to dominate but fails. Peppery spices, lightly smoked malt, clean sherry mingling with paw-paw and a vague nuttiness.
- Finish
- Long, clean sherry, hints of citrus fruit and cocoa. The peppers linger.
- Comment
- Surprising complexity; very, very good.
