Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Light, dry maltiness; hint of fruit. Palate Dry start, becoming buttery, malty, nutty and lightly fruity. Finish Extraordinarily perfumy and long. Comment Very pale indeed. Wood a little worse for wear. Has a hard edge, but becomes silky and disrobes quite sexily.

Jim Murray Nose Intriguingly complex: kiwi and peach, pansies, peat and gentle oak. Palate Fuller and richer than the nose suggests. Finish Dark chocolate and malt. Comment A malt which has changed direction in recent years, probably because of the new stillhouse. It’s nothing like as oily as of yore. The charm and delicacy more than make amends.
