Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Fruity seaweed.
- Palate
- Freshly medicinal. Salty. Rooty, liquorice-like, maltiness.
- Finish
- Iron. Iodine. Pepper.
- Comment
- Both the name and the medicinal character suggests the distillery of origin.
Jim Murray
90- Nose
- At first glance soft and aloof but revealing a complex array of iodiney-salty smoky notes, sweet malt and drier oak. All very laid-back.
- Palate
- Sweet malt then a tidal wave of massive peat. Toffee-vanilla oak follows before more peat.
- Finish
- Long, lip-smacking and spicy. There is a toasty dryness and coffee-chocolate afterglow.
- Comment
- One of the finest, intense and complex single cask Islay has bottled in the last five years.
