Whisky Magazine Issue 3
Irish whiskey - Wood ageing - How malt gets its character.
Published May 1999.
Michael Jackson
75- Nose
- Very linseedy, flowery and appetising.
- Palate
- Smooth, perfumy.
- Finish
- Mustard.
- Comment
- A classic Irish, though less full in flavour than Jameson.
Jim Murray
50- Nose
- Grainy from the off, but just a little more pot still sturdiness than of yore. A touch fruity but overall quite uninspiring.
- Palate
- Much more toffee-vanilla than in recent years; enormously soft and completely lacking richness.
- Finish
- Dries as the oak takes over; becomes even bitter.
- Comment
- An unwieldy blend which disappoints thanks to its refusal to offer anything but a grainy, almost metallic hardness against an uncomplex softness.
