Michael Jackson
87- Nose
- Peach cobbler, being cooked. Warm aroma. Fruity and sweet, with a suggestion of burnt pastry.
- Palate
- Like biting into a good praline, the biggest, roundest one in the box. Black chocolate on the outside, fudge, syrupy alcohol and raisins inside.
- Finish
- Crunchy. Belgian wafers.
- Comment
- Who would have thought that finishing in American oak could add so much? The Glenlivet character is showcased not overwhelmed.
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Rich, sweet oak tones: gingerbread and raisins, orange honey, coconut, polished oak table. Water brings out butterscotch, spice, menthol, apples.
- Palate
- Upfront, ripe and sweet: gingery, toffee, very sweet oak, custard cream, apricot.
- Finish
- Sweet.
- Comment
- Good, if you like this in-yer-face style but why do you need to ‘finish' a 30 Years Old malt? To give a lift to a malt that lacked complexity?
