Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Beautiful balance of tempting aromas. Gently fragrant peat-smoke. Orange marmalade, malt and sherry.
Palate
Orange. Cream. Distinct aniseed. Honey. A very complex malt, with wonderfully combined flavours.
Finish
Almost chewy. Faint citrus zest. Smoky dryness. The faintest hint of the sea.
Comment
Said to be married in sherry butts. In this instance, marriage certainly works.

Jim Murray

Nose
Outwardly flattish, but time and patience reveals life beyond the sherry-hints of cherry and oak.
Palate
Mouth-filling and chewy. Lots of cream toffee. All the time there's a delicate, malty spice buzz.
Finish
Very long and still milky, silky toffee with malt and vanilla arriving. A wave or two of sweet liquorice adds further richness.
Comment
Genuinely classy stuff from the 24 carat jewel in JBB's Scottish crown.
