Michael Jackson
87- Nose
- Sherryish, nutty aromas predominate. Then malt (slightly buttery), and peat. Each seems to manifest itself as a separate hit.
- Palate
- Lively expression of classic Speyside flavours: sherry, malt and slight smokiness.
- Finish
- Lightly peaty. Appetising.
- Comment
- A straightforward Speyside classic. Also big enough to benefit from considerable age.
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Takes time to open, and once some water is added, there's a wall of aromas: rich, fruity with some toffee, vanilla, caramelised apple, barley sugar, coconut, dried fruit and hints of peat and banana.
- Palate
- Dry, quite heathery overall. A firm body with rich and ripe mid-palate. A whisky that demands to be chewed.
- Finish
- Powerful, heather and bracken. Moreish.
- Comment
- Excellent, has great balance.
