Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

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

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.
