Whisky Magazine Issue 3
Irish whiskey - Wood ageing - How malt gets its character.
Published May 1999.
Michael Jackson
60- Nose
- Distinctly almondy. Some soft, perfumy, winey spiciness.
- Palate
- Toasted almonds, raisins, slightly burnt toffee.
- Finish
- Delicate, elusive, flavours. Long, soft, soothing.
- Comment
- All the woods are influential, especially the port in the finish. A very dexterous balancing act, but is the house character eventually overwhelmed?
Jim Murray
75- Nose
- Intense malt with a unmistakable sherry richness. Quite firm, fruity and clean.
- Palate
- Sweet, quite lush start: malt, sherry and soft spice.
- Finish
- Lashings of toffee with bigger sherry than of old. Dark fudge sweetness gives way to much drier cocoa notes.
- Comment
- A bigger whisky than of a year or two back with the sherry making a much bigger impression. Quite fruity and full where once it was slightly powdery and over-dependent on the malt character alone.
