Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Light, fresh and very flowery.
Palate
Fresh dessert apple. Nutty. Cereal-grain. Faint peat.
Finish
Perfumy. Dry. Refreshing.
Comment
Crisp. Earthy. After a walk in the forest?

Jim Murray

Nose
Mildly butyric. Some redeeming honey notes can't quite set the aroma back on track.
Palate
Incredibly sweet opening and middle, lashings of cane juice to dampen the malt.
Finish
Some hint of normality as a little vanilla tries to calm things a little by offering some balance.
Comment
Bizarre. The sweetest Glenturret I've come across and a must for liqueur lovers.
