Michael Jackson
87- Nose
- Sooty. Smoky. Burnt. Crème brûlée. Sweetish. Very malty.
- Palate
- Toffeeish, but in an interplay of soft sweetness and harder, smokier, more burnt flavours. Sticky toffee pudding meets hard treacle toffee.
- Finish
- Buttery. Spicy. Hot rum butter.
- Comment
- Not so much a winter whisky as a bear-hug. Or do the Grampians have a Mac Yeti?
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Concentrated, complex, resin, seville orange, prune, varnish, roasted nuts. Almost Armagnac-like: earthy weight, savoury density.
- Palate
- Powerful, rich, mouth-coating; dark fruit, cocoa. Almost meaty. Great balance. Lighter tannins than you'd think.
- Finish
- Long, sweet and soft.
- Comment
- A great example of European oak and Macallan in harmony. Exceptional indeed.
