Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 9 by Michael Jackson and Paul Pacult.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Very faint seaweed. Estery. Fruity.
Palate
Very light-bodied, but with interesting flavours. Coconut. Pistachio nuts. Rosewater.
Finish
Hessian, cedar and oak. Salt, very definitely. Seems to lift in the finish.
Comment
The flavours are tightly combined. I imagine exploring them late at night in a vaguely disreputable bar in the tropics. Perhaps it's the name.

Paul Pacult

Nose
Intensely grainy and cereal sweet, with background touches of toasted almond and nougat. The aroma is vivacious at first, then it fades to obscurity with frightening velocity.
Palate
Ethereal to light-bodied. Pleasant, if one dimensional on the tongue, showing mild, grain mash, manufactured, sweet flavour notes of light toffee and cane sugar.
Finish
Thin. Highland Spring mineral water shows more depth of character.
Comment
I find it too manipulated and, as a result, painfully bland. A cardboard cut-out.
