Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Oily, Fudge-like.
Palate
Big, rounded, smooth. Full of crunchy maltiness. To drink this whisky is like biting into peanut brittle. Then toffee. Then liquorice flavours.
Finish
Rooty, oaky, smoky, these dry flavours providing a perfect balance.
Comment
Malty, even creamy, but never cloying. Big and sustaining. The whisky world's answer to Kendal Mint Cake.

Paul Pacult

Nose
The subtle notes of bittersweet chocolate, dark toffee, and bacon fat sneak up on you only after a couple of minutes of air exposure. One of the more complex and elegant bouquets in Scotch blends. Buttery, oily, luscious.
Palate
The sweet, wine-like, sherry imprint taste of the Glendronach Distillery malts is all over this poised, chewy thoroughbred.
Finish
Long. Oloroso sherry sweet and almost prune-like. Satiny. I think of the muscular, sinew, peaty side of Speyside malts.
Comment
Cream is the appropriate moniker. Smoky, robust, vibrant.
