Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Very aromatic. Bison-grass. A hint of smokiness.
- Palate
- Earthy. Peppery. Sandy. Austere.
- Finish
- Fruity. Seaweed, pronounced salt. Very appetising.
- Comment
- From a sadly silent still: a great malt that is too good to chill, but wonderful with smoked salmon or scallops. Or, deservedly, caviar. You serve vodka? Shame on you!
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Intense and haughty. There's oils at work along with fresh bay leaf and an austere, flinty smokiness. Maritime.
- Palate
- Dry and austere initially but manages to coat the mouth leaving lingering smoke in every corner.
- Finish
- Long dry with some oiliness.
- Comment
- Takes time to get to know. One to sip.
