Michael Jackson
70- Nose
- Dryish. Faintly peaty.
- Palate
- Spicy and fruity. Very pronounced dessert apples. Lemons. Cloves also very emphatic.
- Finish
- Still dry, but nicely rounded.
- Comment
- This bottling strongly manifests the woody dryness that seems to characterise the whiskies from the Islay valley. Water brings out Strathmill's muscat note.
Dave Broom
70- Nose
- Mandarin oranges with a note reminiscent of rotting vegetable matter. Citrus and turnip tops: it's like one of my mother's less successful soups.
- Palate
- Hot and peppery – this needs lots of water. A dusty/flour sack note and those neeps again.
- Finish
- Malty.
- Comment
- Those decaying vegetables give this a really weird edge. Was the cask too close to the kitchen?
