Michael Jackson
90- Nose
- Very aromatic. A robust struggle between the claret's fruit-and-cedar notes and a confident Bowmore smokiness.
- Palate
- Bowmore beats Bordeaux.
- Finish
- Toffeeish (more port-like) fruit fights back convincingly. Oak keeps the contestants apart. Finally a salty battle is won by the distillery character.
- Comment
- The fighter beat the boxer, but it was a wonderfully enjoyable contest.
Jim Murray
65- Nose
- Truly bizarre: the peat seems to have vanished and in its place is a distinctly winey spiciness.
- Palate
- A biting, puckering zingy, hot spicy attack that in some ways is not too far off a very young Talisker.
- Finish
- Rich, fruity, almost blackcurrant, then drier cocoa-coffee notes.
- Comment
- Worth trying for novelty value alone. Too much rough to go with the smooth.
