Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Very flowery indeed. Pollen. Dark liquid honey-very distinct. Palate Very creamy. Flowery, fruity, sherryish. Finish Touch of true Chablis stoneyness and dryness. Comment Perilously easy to drink. The whisky world's answer to a New World Chardonnay.

Jim Murray Nose Full, fat and fabulously fruity. Slightly unripe pears mingle deliciously with oak and custard. Palate Busy arrival on palate: early oak-induced spice tempered by a big Demerara-sweet middle. Finish Pretty long with that intense barley lingering on with a tinge of oak and molassed raisins. Comment The most stylish, complex and hearty of drams which only underlines the tragedy in the demise of this fine distillery.
