Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 21 by Michael Jackson and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Sea air and smokiness – evocative sootiness.
Palate
Silky. The touch of fruitiness, usually reminiscent of lemons, is sweeter, with a momentary suggestion of cherries. The flavours become almondy and walnut-like, then rooty and peppery.
Finish
Long, haughty.
Comment
Lots of flavour development, complexity and refinement. Very elegant, but where is the clamour of battle?

Dave Broom

Nose
Gentle and complex: orange/marmalade, sponge cake with pink icing, calfskin leather, angelica and smoke.
Palate
Soft and fragrant, light leathery notes then a smoky bonfire.
Finish
Light medicinal (Savlon/Germolene) then smoke.
Comment
Mellower than you’d expect but beautifully balanced.
