Michael Jackson
75- Nose
- Sharp, firm, peaty, dryness.
- Palate
- Assertively seaweedy start, almost immediately sliding into a slippery, oily, leaner maltiness then equally suddenly rising to a spicy crescendo.
- Finish
- Peppery, but with a complexity of other spices.
- Comment
- As a single, it must come from one of the Islay distilleries. Reminds me of Port Ellen, but there is surely not enough stock of that?
Jim Murray
92- Nose
- Sweet peat and dried dates add untold riches to the clean malt and oak. High quality stuff.
- Palate
- The oak arrives to confront the peat. Result is a complex, spicy battle. Huge intensity with molassed depth countered by seaweedy, briny dryness.
- Finish
- Remains massive and long with countless layers of peaty iodine and oak ramming the tastebuds.
- Comment
- If you love Islay whisky, especially the south-east coast variety, this is an absolute must.
