Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Oaky, nutty, fudgey.
- Palate
- Good depth of deliciously fresh, layered, malty, butterscotch flavours, developing to liquorice-toffee and anise.
- Finish
- Crystalised ginger. Warming.
- Comment
- An astonishingly malty whisky. For someone who wants to taste the eponymous ingredient, this shows it at its best.
Jim Murray
70- Nose
- Light, malty and vaguely citric, the weight is supplied by some soft sherry tones spoiled slightly by a tad too much sulphur.
- Palate
- Immediate flavour explosion of quite fabulous sweet, buttery malt and richer sherry tones. Just a hint of smoke fills out the middle.
- Finish
- Caramel, sherry and liquorice make for a rich finish. The drier vanillins come in at the death.
- Comment
- To taste, this is a lively malt of pleasing depth. Only the nose somewhat spoils the show.
