Whisky Magazine Issue 3
Irish whiskey - Wood ageing - How malt gets its character.
Published May 1999.
Michael Jackson
70- Nose
- Grassy. Lemongrass. Lemons.
- Palate
- Spearmint, oily, smooth. Becoming sweet. Mint-toffee. Nicely rounded
- Finish
- Minty, fruity.
- Comment
- Very appetising.
Jim Murray
80- Nose
- Massive fruit onslaught: apples and oranges and well structured sweetness. The grain lightens the proceedings.
- Palate
- Big and boisterous and enormously sweet from the start. Rich maltiness, a slight smokiness and an almost metallic honey sheen.
- Finish
- Drier with some cocoa. Quite gristy.
- Comment
- Perhaps the most improved blend in the Cooley range. A massive assertiveness throughout.
