Michael Jackson
72- Nose
- Perfumy. Rosewater. Pruney.
- Palate
- Starts sweet. Rather thin. Soft, gentle. Falling apart somewhat.
- Finish
- Slight woody astringency.
- Comment
- The russet colour promised something more luxurious, but this whisky is not as rich as it was.
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Thick, resinous and richly scented with a drift of smoke overlaid by a beautiful perfume. Water pulls out a silky soft note with grilled nut, fig jam and with time honey. Layered and complex.
- Palate
- Sweet start. Light, tea-like tannins, hard toffee, chestnut, ginger spiciness. Silky feel.
- Finish
- Embers, oak, Dundee cake. Very long. Becomes a little tight with time.
- Comment
- A fantastic dram. Overlook this at your peril.
