Michael Jackson
77- Nose
- Very fruity, estery, leafy, spicy. Tea-like. Apples, cloves.
- Palate
- Firm, clean sweet. Pastry. Marzipan.
- Finish
- Fragrant, perfumy, flowery, herbal. Heathery, gently peaty, smoky.
- Comment
- Another light-tasting malt that blossoms with age. Its flavours belie the use of a malt that is scarcely peated.
Jim Murray
77- Nose
- Astonishingly light: the malty grassiness is closer to it being an 8 Years Old!! Oak is apparent but almost apologetic.
- Palate
- At its height the intensity is a must for chocoholics.
- Finish
- Dry and jaded with the cocoa keeping a lid on the oaky excesses.
- Comment
- The nose lies. A classic example of a Speysider beyond its prime. Ultimately it fails to give full satisfaction.
