Irish whiskey - Wood ageing - How malt gets its character.
Published May 1999.
Michael Jackson
90- Nose
- Clean, fresh. hint of linseed. Nuts. Cake.
- Palate
- By far the biggest of this selection. Assertive and complex, with lots of development and seemingly infinite dimension. Ginger cake, brazil nuts, treacle.
- Finish
- Liquorice-like sherry notes.
- Comment
- Delicious, soothing, contemplative. A great whiskey. Makes me want to get on a plane to Dublin immediately.
Jim Murray
90- Nose
- With Green Spot, the most impressive of Irish noses. There's a fruity, almost rye-like quality, and deft, honeyed sweetness, a touch of sherry, cream soda vanilla and some peppery notes. Breathtaking.
- Palate
- The flavours take off in all directions. Spiciness and a pot still backbone softened by sherry. Very firm with some toffee.
- Finish
- Oily, some liquorice and enormous sweet-sour complexity. Spicy and long.
- Comment
- Not quite perfect, but still an astonishing experience.
