Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Roses, candyfloss, slightly buttery.
- Palate
- Perfect balance of sherry and the malty, spicy, house character. The two elements are tightly combined, with the spicy flavours emerging slowly: nutmeg, aniseed and emphatic orange-flower.
- Finish
- Liquorice toffee. Mint.
- Comment
- Complex and sophisticated.
Doug McIvor
90- Nose
- Beautifully mellow, sherryish, grassy with a little marzipan and mint toffee.
- Palate
- Enveloping, creamy and nutty with a teasing sherry and gentle peaty twist. Peppermint prickle.
- Finish
- Long, soothing, with a minty and spicy end.
- Comment
- A biggish-bodied Aberlour which helps to lengthen the complex effects of the double maturation.
