Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Very restrained. Where has the seashore gone?
- Palate
- Lightly syrupy. Bafflingly thin flavours at first, then developing the earthy Ardbeg character, with a nice splash of mustard.
- Finish
- Finally the phenolic, tar-like, rope flavours come through.
- Comment
- Has this cask slept so long that it cannot completely wake up?
Jim Murray
95- Nose
- Truly awesome complexity. Sprig of mint with peat, malt, iodine and oak.
- Palate
- Ultra-rich and dense at first, then actually thinned out by the vanilla oakiness. Unbelievable.
- Finish
- Soooo long...with some chocolate adding to the tapestry.
- Comment
- Every connoisseur should get his hands on this at any cost. A classic among classics.
