Michael Jackson
90- Nose
- Fragrant smoke, with dryish maltiness.
- Palate
- Quite full and syrupy, oaky and smoky.
- Finish
- Remarkable emergence of mint toffee.
- Comment
- Not quite the complexity of the 1946 and 1948. Oaky woodiness begins to intrude.
David Robertson
87- Nose
- Cooked apple and lemon citrus, some wood.
- Palate
- Richer apples, lemons and peat smoke.
- Finish
- Richly phenolic with fresh lemons and cooked apples.

- The 1937 and 1940 are currently fetching between £250 and £500 per bottle at auction.
