Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Freshly aromatic: grassy, spicy and lemon-grassy.
Palate
Soft, spicy: cinnamon and, ginger. Beautiful balance of sweetness and dryness.
Finish
Fragrant spicy dryness.
Comment
I always enjoy this whisky, even though it is not the most typical of Lowlanders.

Jim Murray

Nose
Thin and spirity. Exceptionally malty and reminiscent of boiled barley-sugar candy.
Palate
Sweet, grassy-sharp and mouthwatering. Dominant malt, a hint of banana and custard.
Finish
Intense vanilla and caramel with rich oaky tones and a delicate hint of smoke. Slightly bitter at finish.
Comment
One of the better samples I’ve tasted recently. This malt can be temperamental. Delightfully intense but a lack of complexity through the middle disappoints.
