Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Peat, then flowery, with cinnamon and apples. Palate Firmly malty. Nutty. Grassy. Herbal. Finish Dry. Peaty and warming. Comment Very much the house style. Has not gained, or lost, much by such a long maturation.

Jim Murray Nose A tale of an out-of-control wash still and bars of soap. Some honey still filters through. Amazing! Palate The oak takes command and though the vanilla-honey-malt combination tries to hold sway the balance has been lost a little. Finish Waxed honey, slightly strained oak but ultimately very soapy. Comment The result of a stillman's very worst nightmare.
