Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 3 by Michael Jackson and Jim Murray.

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
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

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 last 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.
