Michael Jackson
77- Nose
- Warm. Suede. Leather. Linseed.
- Palate
- Toasted almonds. Pistachios. Fudge. Fruity. Flowering currant. Good flavour development.
- Finish
- A hint of sherry. Apricot-like, oily sweetness.
- Comment
- Despite being a malt, it still, somehow has an Irish accent. Slightly more personality than the Bushmills malt at 16 Years Old. Drinkable and sociable.
Jim Murray
80- Nose
- The sherry is light and clean and gives way to a lovely hint of orange and sweet nuts. Impressively stylish and assured.
- Palate
- A highly developed and confusingly complex middle tends to nudge back towards sherry dominance.
- Finish
- Dries as the richer sherry notes fade and the oak takes hold.
- Comment
- Cleaner than of old but no less characterful. Quite a cerebral whisky.
