Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose An almost papery, fruit-skin, dryness. Palate Starts like the layer of soft caramel in a Mars bar. Remarkably creamy. Astonishingly peach-like. Finish Very lively. Almost effervescent. Comment Lacks roundness, structure, balance. I was sorry to hear that this distillery has been closed. Temporarily?

Jim Murray Nose Sweet, gristy and fresh for age. Palate Melt in the mouth despite strength with oak and malt battling out for honours. Finish A very late almost subliminal hint of peat. Comment A charming malt, though rather shy. Easily among the top Glencadams yet bottled.
