Michael Jackson
90- Nose
- Distinct peat character; stalky. Lime skins.
- Palate
- Flowery: buttercups. Syrupy, with rich sherry notes. Very big in the middle, with lots of flavour development. Soft mint humbugs.
- Finish
- More mint, becoming drier.
- Comment
- A big, rich interpretation; an outstanding digestif.
Jim Murray
65- Nose
- A sulphury sherry note. Alas, still present when reduced.
- Palate
- Malt and fruit richness, dry oakiness. The off-notes vanish leaving a big maltiness.
- Finish
- Smoky, slightly peaty and chocolatey.
- Comment
- Not very well balanced.
