Michael Jackson
- Nose
- Polished oak. Leather upholstery.
- Palate
- Minty. Creamy. Freshly-peeled satsumas. Orange peels. Dark cherry flavours. Very bitter black chocolate. Astonishing complexity and length. Long development of drier flavours.
- Finish
- Violets. Lingering flowery, scented flavours.
- Comment
- After that voluptuous dinner.
Jim Murray
- Nose
- A massive aroma with a salty tang that reveals its coastal location. The heather-honey and soft smoke point to the distillery. Glorious.
- Palate
- The peatiness is more noticeable here, but the early vanilla and deliciously sweet malt and honey are still there. The saltiness also sticks around and weaves around the spice.
- Finish
- Lots of cocoa and even a fleeting hint of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee: an amazing display that is long and satisfying. Rugged peat adds to the complexity, as does a sweet richness that clings to the roof of the mouth.
- Comment
- A rugged expression that lacks the usual complexity but makes up for it with depth and length. A beauty.
