Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Peatier. Palate Firmer. Green, oily, becoming dry and leafy. Finish More assertive pepper and mustard. Comment The most oily of the three, and very assertive in the finish.

Jim Murray Nose Wonderfully fresh and clean but not without character: grassy malt and crushed pine nuts. Mouth-wateringly beautiful. Palate Drier on the palate, the vanilla bites early but is still unable to dampen that succulent grassiness. Finish Finely balanced but frying with oaky-cocoa notes. Very long finale. Comment Impressive, smokeless and delicate for its age. A finely tuned malt.
