Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Perfumy. Floral. Slightly oily. Seedcake?
- Palate
- Beautifully rounded. Nutty. Grainy. Grassy. Sweet.
- Finish
- Brown sugar. Rum butter. Remarkably long.
- Comment
- Glenkinchie was always robust for a lowlander, and this expression is more so. Again, it works: the typical grassy sweetness brought out by a touch of sherry.
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Sweet, soft and inviting: hot fruit scones, honey, orange, barley sugar and a hint of struck match.
- Palate
- Good balance between sweet cooked fruits and dried nuttiness. Good texture with a sweet malty centre.
- Finish
- Clean and soft.
- Comment
- The finish gives a subtle extra layer of flavour rather than dominating.
