Michael Jackson
72- Nose
- Sweet but slightly burnt. Reminiscent of treacle toffee. Perhaps even molasses.
- Palate
- Starts sweet, almost icing-sugar, then quickly dries to grassier, herbal, oily notes.
- Finish
- Light peat. Cedar.
- Comment
- A pleasant malt, but this bottling has less structure than I remember. It is to be hoped that new owners Dewar's give more prominence to this distillery.
Jim Murray
85- Nose
- Delicate and floral, the oak input from the bourbon barrel is in perfect harmony with the gently sweet malt.
- Palate
- Less compelling than the aroma. Offers mouth-watering malt before a burst of peat dries it out.
- Finish
- Bittersweet, oaky-smoky affair that lasts longer than expected.
- Comment
- An impressively balanced, stylish dram that deserves far better recognition.
