Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 22 by Michael Jackson and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Fresh smokiness. The smell of burning hay. Earthy.
Palate
Sweet and salty. Firm, cereal-grain maltiness. Peanut butter on toast.
Finish
Orange and ginger marmalade. Satisfying. Sustaining.
Comment
The aromas and flavours evoke breakfast, but in a farmhouse kitchen with an open fire, rused and dashed by the winds down the chimney.

Dave Broom

Nose
Ripe, fruity and well balanced. Sherry, dried fruits and a hint of smoke. Water brings out a buttery edge. A lot going on.
Palate
Overall, a little drier than the nose suggests but with excellent, soft, mid-palate weight. Light smoke all the way through.
Finish
Ripe and soft.
Comment
Very well balanced. A lovely blend.
