Michael Jackson
77- Nose
- Creamy, nutty, lightly peaty.
- Palate
- Full-bodied. Decidedly silky-smooth. Spiced cake. Candied lemon peels. Lots of flavour development.
- Finish
- Smoky, rooty, treacly. Impeccable balance between sweetness and dryness.
- Comment
- The obvious sherry ageing really suits Blair Athol. It is a malt that matures quickly, and this is very sophisticated for its age. A lovely whisky.
Jim Murray
72- Nose
- A clean, uncomplicated and rather sweet sherry aroma partially smothers a slightly off-key sub strata.
- Palate
- Again more massive sweet sherry and surprisingly smoky amid the malt.
- Finish
- A bitter, rather sharp finale which becomes increasingly dry.
- Comment
- About as uncomplicated as it gets. Has improved on recent years, though.
