Michael Jackson
77- Nose
- Perfumy. Waxed fruits. Hard black chocolate. Cedar.
- Palate
- Oily, syrupy, sweetish. Belgian toffee wafers. Orange-cream pralines.
- Finish
- Stewed apricots. Crème Anglaise. A late whiff of cigar smoke.
- Comment
- The sweetness could be excessive, but it is saved by the stogie.
Jim Murray
90- Nose
- Much weightier and characterful than most 10 Years Olds. Toffee and fresh figs. Enticing.
- Palate
- Glorious mouth feel: chewy and lush with cream toffee giving way to a sprinkling of demerara.
- Finish
- Brilliant! Just a hint of fettered spice, and then waves of oak and malt with vanilla.
- Comment
- This is a solid, gutsy whisky with wave-upon-wave of rich flavours and textures. A truly great malt. Older in style than the label suggests.
