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.
