Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Vegetal peatiness, but hardly a monstrous note.
Palate
Crisp, clean, peaty dryness. Develops some medicinal notes.
Finish
Bittersweet.
Comment
A monster? As compared to earlier creations from the same house, but don't expect mass hysteria on Park Avenue.

Marcin Miller

Nose
Vanilla, cream, smoke. Very intriguing. Draws you in.
Palate
Peat, smoke. Burning peat fires.
Finish
Long but relatively austere.
Comment
More dour than I was expecting but this whisky will have many devoted adherents. Another winner from Compass Box.
