Michael Jackson
72- Nose
- Oaky. Vanilla. Sweet apple. Acetyl. Pear drops. Cloves.
- Palate
- Light. Dry. Water wakes it up a little.
- Finish
- Dry herbal, clovey, slightly musty.
- Comment
- No distillery deserves to be knocked down to accommodate a strip mall, but Glen Albyn just did not have the muscle to defend itself (as Tom Wait might have put it).
Jim Murray
90- Nose
- A charming mixture of mealy malt, almost exotic fruitiness and a hint of smoke.
- Palate
- Deliciously oily and sweet with an early arrival of gentle peat and gathering spices.
- Finish
- Outstanding: with soft coffee, toffee and cocoa clinging to the waxy oak and lingering spice.
- Comment
- Truly brilliant example of how an old malt should be: seriously big, full of complexity and minimum oak interference.
