Michael Jackson
92- Nose
- Delicate, sweet short crust pastry. Marzipan and raspberry jam. Raisins.
- Palate
- Oily, vaguely fruity, honeyed. Faintly herbal.
- Finish
- More like a dessert wine than a whisky. Rich, creamy and filling.
- Comment
- Visually, a very attractive whisky – rich amber and gloriously viscous. If my suspicions are correct, an earlier expression of this whisky reminded me of a Peshwari Nan. Must be shared and discussed with friends.
Arthur Motley
75- Nose
- Honey porridge, coconut and a savoury, clove-like spice. Fresh orange: zest and pithy.
- Palate
- Raisiny, slightly spicy with lots of vanilla.
- Finish
- Citric and lightly bitter.
- Comment
- Pleasing, bright, and easy-going. A good gift whiskey, but not one for the new breed of crusading Whiskey Adventurer.
