Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Wonderfully peaty and smoky.
- Palate
- Smooth, oily. Sweet, perfumy, smoke.
- Finish
- Smoky. Sweet grass.
- Comment
- The revival of rustic peatiness adds a whole new element to today's palette of Irish whiskey flavours.
Jim Murray
90- Nose
- Sweet, clean peat, vanilla and-floral notes. One of the most profound and complex of Irish noses.
- Palate
- Again very sweet, peaty. Softly honeyed and oily Mild molasses, fabulously smoky.
- Finish
- Becomes drier as some oak bites, but the peat just keeps on rumbling along.
- Comment
- This single malt had suffered from an identity crisis over the last year or so. Some vattings had become slightly off-key, dirty even, and the malt had lost direction. This bottling, however, is back to its brilliant best.
