Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Gentle sea fragrance. Very appetising. Palate Very delicate and teasing. Lightly toasty. Cinnamon toast. Faintly rhubarby fruitiness and wineyness, tinge of sourish acidity. Finish Very salty. Comment The light saltiness in a coastal whisky and near-coastal sherry make this a delight.

Jim Murray Nose Crisp and dry with an enticing hint of smoke. This sherry is wonderfully delicate. Palate Clean and dry with complex spices. Brilliantly balanced. Finish Long oaky finale that lingers over the fino influence. Comment Outstanding stuff from Glenmorangie, and for my money their most delicate expression yet.
