Whisky Magazine Issue 3
Irish whiskey - Wood ageing - How malt gets its character.
Published May 1999.
Michael Jackson
75- Nose
- Perfumy, linseedy, cereal-grain.
- Palate
- Firm, smooth, sweetish. Touch of peaty rootiness.
- Finish
- Faint balance of orange-peel dryness.
- Comment
- More complex, and fuller in flavour, than many Irish blends. Very well balanced. Just a hint of a Scottish accent.
Jim Murray
80- Nose
- That rarest of beasts: a peaty aroma on a blended Irish. Softer than it used to be, but with trademark apples and grapes; fine balance.
- Palate
- Full, fat and much richer than of old. The sweetness holds longer and the smokiness has to battle through the intense malt. The grain adds a refined dryness.
- Finish
- Dry, spicy, and hauntingly smoky. Some deep vanilla and sweeter malt.
- Comment
- A superb blend that is more complex than it used to be.
