Michael Jackson
82- Nose
- Fresh, maritime. Harbour-front.
- Palate
- A complex mix of flavours, emerging one after the other, in clean hits: Oily, seaweedy, green, leafy. Garden mint. Flowery.
- Finish
- Herbal. Salt. Very long indeed. Waves lapping on the palate.
- Comment
- A restrained example of this fine malt, but the silent still is almost out of stock. There will be few further opportunities to buy.
Martine Nouet
77- Nose
- A real mariner (fishnet, seaweed). Smoke mingled with sea spray. Grassy. Watermelon. A touch of wild mint.
- Palate
- Sweet and minty. Caressing mouthfeel. Very refreshing and appetising. Quite simple.
- Finish
- Warm, drying on liquorice and soft spices.
- Comment
- A gentle Port Ellen, with the sea influencing the nose more than the palate. Would have proved a heftier guy at a higher strength.
