Isle Of Skye 8 Year Old Ian Macleod 3cl Sample | £3.15 |
Michael Jackson
75- Nose
- Fresh. Fruit salad.
- Palate
- Long, fruity, dusty. Sweet shop flavours. Children's sweet. Dolly mixtures.
- Finish
- Soft liquorice. Some liquorice root. A hint of phenol smokiness.
- Comment
- Light but enjoyable flavours. A lively, attractive, feminine whisky, but the island character is scarcely evident: an omission for which a half point is deducted.
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Clean and light with precise phenolic notes, citrus, vanilla yellow haddock. All quite restrained...in a peaty way. Like standing on a high, rainy moor.
- Palate
- Immediate smoke, but with a balancing sweetness that runs the length of the palate. Great drive and energy.
- Finish
- Phenolic, dry. Medium length.
- Comment
- A young, punchy vatting. For beginners and peat lovers.
