Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Very flowery, heathery, light seweedy, emphatically salty.
Palate
Firm and dry at first, with a touch of iron. Slight oiliness, and a suggestion of peat. Becoming maltier and sweeter, with touches of heather.
Finish
Long, with a range of subtle flavours.
Comment
Very slightly spirity, but appetising.

Jim Murray

Nose
The lightest, creamiest of all Islay's noses, but contains a surprising richness. There is also a fruit salad sweetness with diced apples.
Palate
Fresh, intense malt which clings to the roof of the mouth alongside some slightly bitter oaky notes.
Finish
Pleasant, medium length but rather one dimensional. A chalky, vanilla finale.
Comment
This dram has changed in recent years; less silky and more malt sharp but very easy going.
