Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 26 by Michael Jackson and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Oak, cedar, spearmint.
Palate
Cypress. Sweet leaves. Fruity, winey, oaky.
Finish
Hint of peat. Powerful. Slightly woody.
Comment
Any whisky-lover would be glad of the chance to taste this, even if it is on the woody side.

Dave Broom

Nose
Fat and very sherried: walnut, treacle toffee, sticky toffee pudding, raisin and a strangely vegetal note.
Palate
Full-on sherry. The wood seems to have taken charge, giving it a slight astringency.
Finish
Long. Walnut bread. DRY.
Comment
Well made, but there’s just too much sherry character which diminishes any complexity. A shame for the spirit which seems very good.
