Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Very fresh, assertive. Leafy, lightly peaty. Fragrant smoke.
- Palate
- Big, slightly syrupy and very malty, with nuts, raisins, ginger, lemon peel and roses.
- Finish
- Spicy, flowery, peaty.
- Comment
- Far paler and less sherried than the main version from this distillery. I would like at least some sherry to round the gingery spiciness, but I like the way that rose character comes through in this one.
Jim Murray
80- Nose
- Orangey and very faintly peaty, yet light and slightly ethereal.
- Palate
- Tangy and sweetly malted. Rich, slightly oily body; biscuity, chewy. Gentle smokiness.
- Finish
- Very clean and soft with the malt managing to outweigh the oak. Impressive.
- Comment
- Extremely high quality expression from an ill-served distillery.
