Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 6 by Michael Jackson and Jim Murray.

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
Smoothly aromatic. Nutty malt. Smoky. Very good, appetising medicinal Islay character.
Palate
Rounded, firm, malty, dry creaminess. Tightly combined flavours.
Finish
Leafy, ferny, malty, sandy, smoky.
Comment
A touch of astringency that seems to be more than Islay iodine.

Jim Murray

Nose
Understated peat offers no more than a smoky sprinkling on the juicy apple and vanilla.
Palate
Much fuller and fatter in the mouth with an immediate outbreak of spices. Impressively delicate.
Finish
Medium length and perhaps just a little thin. The coffee feature of old is less intense. Holds its age impressively.
Comment
A quite delicious version but not anything like the heavier, more complex 17 Years Old of old.
