Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Very restrained, nutty, sherry, with sea air. Palate Slightly sweeter, creamier, more rounded. Finish Almost a shadow of the nose. Comment Many blenders feel that second-fill sherry casks give a more balanced result than first-fill. This whisky is a lesson in that technique.

Jim Murray Nose Soft, strangely neutral aroma. Palate Excellent sherry thrust perfectly countered by the peat. Massive depth. Finish Medium length and Turkish delight sweet. Comment Superb harmony in spite of the youth. Much, much better.
