Michael Jackson
87- Nose
- Sherry, mint, pralines. Oakier (and smokier?) than the earlier version of a'bunadh.
- Palate
- Very rich, and creamy. Cherries. Ginger.
- Finish
- Nougat, cherry-brandy, ginger, fragrant smoke.
- Comment
- Darker, drier and more spicily assertive than the earlier version, despite only a slight difference in ages.
Jim Murray
90- Nose
- Heavier and oakier than the age suggests but with a big, waxy, sherry note offering a cleaner, richer dimension.
- Palate
- Quite massive with a big sherry surge that breaks against a big malt middle and delicious spices.
- Finish
- Long, magnificently oaky and proud. Some cocoa and sherry fight for the finish but intertwine.
- Comment
- Wow!! Who would have thought a mere Speysider could offer such personality and depth?
