Michael Jackson
- Nose
- Fragrant. Edible seaweed, sweetish, restrained fruit. Aroma of white, uncut peaches.
- Palate
- Smooth, scenty. Developing notes of tobacco.
- Finish
- Sitting in a leather armchair, reading Masefield, before a log fire, listening to the tide with a whiff of brine under the weather-warped door.
- Comment
- Demonstrably an evocative whisky. Salty and winey, but neither as overt as in the comparable Glenmorangie Fino.
Doug McIvor
- Nose
- Succulent honeyed traits with a briney background.
- Palate
- Rich nutty, malty and full-bodied with dark chocolate and spice emerging.
- Finish
- Very lingering, chocolatey and warming. With a late peaty finesse.
- Comment
- Much enhanced Oban. Perfect with after coffee and brazils.
