Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Fresh. Minty boiled sweets. Palate Concentrated sweetness. Scottish tablet. Nuts. Finish Gingery. Spicy. Lively. Dry. Long. Comment A charming whisky, and a reminder that Glenturret is a place, not an experience.

Martine Nouet Nose A definite sour, unpleasant milky aroma. Varnish-like fresh paint scent. Cedar notes behind. Palate Lots of liquorice and aniseed (like Liquorice Allsorts). Nothing much else. Finish Liquorice again. Turning slightly bitter. Comment One-dimensional with a butyric aroma which doesn’t help. Far from exciting.
