Whisky Magazine Issue 3
Irish whiskey - Wood ageing - How malt gets its character.
Published May 1999.
Michael Jackson
70- Nose
- Lemongrass. Lime.
- Palate
- Medium. Smooth. Sweetish, very toasty, malt character. Well-balanced.
- Finish
- Nice balancing dryness. Leafy.
- Comment
- Light but firm and satisfying. A welcome newcomer for everyday drinking.
Jim Murray
70- Nose
- No shyness to the firm, extra-clean grain, but the malt does balance things out beautifully. The fruit has receded in recent years but there are still hints of apple and grape.
- Palate
- Fabulously lush, honeyed and delicately malted. The grain adds complexity.
- Finish
- Still lush, moderately sweet, slightly grapey. The early spices vanish and leave some oak and a grainy firmness.
- Comment
- A satisfying, finely balanced dram which again shows Cooley's decent grain to good effect.
