Michael Jackson
82- Nose
- A rock pool by the shore.
- Palate
- Soft, clean, sweet, becoming sandy, salty and spicy. Huge flavour development. Beautifully structured.
- Finish
- Lemon zest. Fresh limes. Lively. Irrepressible.
- Comment
- I shall try this in a Caipirinha, with a CD of Annie Ross at her peak.
Dave Broom
87- Nose
- Gentle and soft. Sweet oak, flowers, vanilla, nutmeg, dried apple, apricot. Water brings out more toasty notes, hazelnut and milk chocolate.
- Palate
- Rounded and creamy, with a subtle interplay between vanilla-like oak, macaroon bars, nut and fruit.
- Finish
- Fresh and crisp.
- Comment
- What is it about Islay whiskies in their mid-teens? A masterclass in subtlety.
