Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Peaty. Lightly phenolic.
- Palate
- Sweet, syrupy. Lightly creamy. Developing light floweriness and sugared almonds.
- Finish
- Peach-stone notes. Attenuated. Dry.
- Comment
- A little woody. Choice of cask?
Jim Murray
85- Nose
- Dry sherry and lots of natural caramel.
- Palate
- Big mouthfeel with lots of ripe fruit. Sweet throughout, like sugared plums and custard.
- Finish
- The longest, most full-bodied finale of all; rich saline oakiness and toasty malt. The rich fruit is never far away.
- Comment
- A big whisky which shows not all Speysiders are shrinking violets. Beautifully weighted throughout; breathtaking complexity.
