Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

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

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.
