Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- At first, turpentine spirit and linseed oil – studio aromas – punctuated by spearmint? Menthol? Juicy fruit gum? Cointreau?
- Palate
- Astringent and a little salty. Cough mixtures. Dense treacle toffee.
- Finish
- Burnt pastry. Not quite as oily as one might have expected. Eucalyptus notes with water.
- Comment
- An extremely complex – and for me, pleasant – nose is matched by a dense and demanding palate.
Arthur Motley
85- Nose
- Succulent esters, with pear drops and crépe suzette. Also strawberry, violet, lime and sherbert. Some luscious coffee fudge, ginger and vanilla.
- Palate
- Chocolate, bourbon, oak and perhaps a little ashy peat.
- Finish
- Dry and subtly spicy.
- Comment
- A complex, aged and vibrantly mature Speyside. Very good.
