Published April 2001.
Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Slightly sooty.
- Palate
- Sweeter than the 40%.
- Finish
- Spicy, grassy, smoky, slightly hot. Peppery.
- Comment
- The paler colour suggests less interesting casks. The higher the alcohol adds to the pepperiness. The end result is drier, more cutting, but less rounded than the 40%.
Jim Murray
75- Nose
- Less intense peat than the standard version. it is the dollop of marmalade that stars.
- Palate
- The peat forms a sweet and silky layer. Oak tends to be lumpy.
- Finish
- A toasty, dry finale. Maybe a little off key.
- Comment
- Hmmm. Not quite the babe I was expecting. Due to the rarity of this malt vattings do tend to travel the quality spectrums.
