Published October 1999.
Michael Jackson
85- 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
80- 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.
