Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Sweet. Hard toffee.
- Palate
- Silky. Starts dry, then nutty and luscious.
- Finish
- Lingering brown sugar-and-spice finish, with a balancing savoury touch from the salty Sound of Islay.
- Comment
- Less complex, with the distillery character coming through much more strongly.
Dave Broom
72- Nose
- High sherry notes: almond, nut bowl, spice. A clootie dumpling thrown athwart a peat fire.
- Palate
- Well covered and rich but with great smoky/kippery depth.
- Finish
- Long nutty/fruity then suddenly dies and a medicinal note comes out.
- Comment
- The sherry gives roundness but doesn't dominate Caol Ila's characteristic energy.
