Michael Jackson
90- Nose
- Very expressive. Notably herbal. Grassy.
- Palate
- Having flirted, plays hard-to-get. Interplay of teasing sweetness and stony dryness. Promises of orange blossom. Honey. Anise.
- Finish
- Slow seduction in the flower beds.
- Comment
- It's worth taking the trouble.
Dave Broom
87- Nose
- Silky, elegant and rich: currant bushes, sweet fruits, honey, cream, leather, rich malt, chestnut. Water makes it smokier. Fruity with a savoury edge.
- Palate
- Lovely weight: honey, blackberry, cooked fruits, walnut, dried apricot. A mid-to back-palate whisky which is robust, yet silky; meaty but elegant. The word is complex.
- Finish
- Tingle of heathery smoke binding it together.
- Comment
- The most complex of the flight by some margin.
