Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Fragrantly peaty.
- Palate
- Good flavour development, beautifully balanced as it unfolds. Fragrantly smoky, then nutty, becoming flowery, and finally honeyish.
- Finish
- Late, clean, appetising, smokiness.
- Comment
- Very good indeed as a lightish, delicate, interpretation of Highland Park.
Jim Murray
85- Nose
- A big, slightly brawny, oaky nose with diffused peaty notes.
- Palate
- Immediately dry as the oak bites hard, but the peat and honey offer traditional Orcadian riches.
- Finish
- Long, with vanilla and a rich grapey fruitiness. The peat hangs on to the very end.
- Comment
- A pretty old and slightly tired malt but the richness of the peat and malt, and the harmony they create, makes this a delicious dram. Big stuff.
