Michael Jackson
82- Nose
- Apples? Apple skins perhaps.
- Palate
- Tannin. Apple. Toffee. Vanilla. Sulphur.
- Finish
- Whisky wins convincingly against the Calvados, but it's still a very interesting struggle.
- Comment
- The Calvados character is almost overwhelming but Caol Ila comes surging through in the finish.
Jim Murray
72- Nose
- Sharp burst of flighty peat, etheric apple based fruitness.
- Palate
- Lively and fresh.
- Finish
- Thin despite a hint of spice and surprisingly short for a Caol Ila.
- Comment
- A highly unusual Caol Ila mysteriously lacking in complexity.
