Whisky Magazine Issue 3
Irish whiskey - Wood ageing - How malt gets its character.
Published May 1999.
Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Very aromatic. Waxy orange skins. Linseed oil. Leather.
- Palate
- Big, oily, creamy, sociable.
- Finish
- Delicate. Peppery. More-ish.
- Comment
- A superb Irish for everyday drinking. I love this, though not quite as much as the 1780.
Jim Murray
80- Nose
- A meeting of Oloroso and crisp pot still character. Malty, too. Lovely fruitcake richness, though not as sweet as in recent years.
- Palate
- Very firm, oily, intense and mouthfilling.
- Finish
- A hint of spice counters an increasing oaky bitterness though the barley and sherry lasts to the very end.
- Comment
- Five or six years back I panned this whiskey: it was lacking in pot still character. Not any more. Now genuinely impressive, charming and characterful.
