Michael Jackson
90- Nose
- A little woody dryness then chocolate, coconut, marzipan. Some glueiness and menthol.
- Palate
- Thin and drying. Cough candy. Cinnamon. Cloves. Toasted coconut. Sandalwood.
- Finish
- Seemingly short, but, just when you think it's all over, a long, lingering, Fino infused finish.
- Comment
- For the end of the evening. Of considerable complexity and will require several attempts before it's cracked. Not for everyone.
Arthur Motley
75- Nose
- Estery, salty and fruity (peach slices and baked apples). With water up comes fennel, satsuma and melon. Also a husky, gristy character.
- Palate
- Fruity, tingly and lightly peaty.
- Finish
- Dry and biscuity.
- Comment
- A pleasant and balanced malt with a definite island character, but given the choice available from this great distillery, it pales.
