Michael Jackson
92- Nose
- Immediate clean, dry, peat smoke.
- Palate
- Big, firm. Peaty, grassy, lively.
- Finish
- Sweet, gingery. Treacly. Astonishingly long.
- Comment
- This is true of several of the older Macallans, suggesting that the sherry casks had contained styles other than dry Oloroso.
David Robertson
