Michael Jackson
77- Nose
- Still very fresh, but drier, with a touch more smokiness, and no obvious sherry.
- Palate
- Oilier. Very tangerine-like. Sweeter. Scenty. More complex.
- Finish
- Attractively appetising late echo of peat smoke.
- Comment
- Delicate but not bland. Real subtlety. Very mature, but not a hint of wood. A Highlander, but blindfold I would have placed it as a Speysider.
Jim Murray
85- Nose
- Stupendous aroma: a posy of lilacs and blue bells which is heady and rich.
- Palate
- Drier than the nose suggests with an early arrival of firm oak. Sweetens as the malt arrives.
- Finish
- Decent bitter-sweet balance which perhaps levels out on the former but always with a barley-sugar undercurrent.
- Comment
- Held its age well and another gem for the sweet-toothed. Excellent.
