Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Very aromatic. Floral, but flowers with a heavy scent, like a geranium. Or perhaps a tropical flower. Leafy. Herbal. Minty. Oily.
- Palate
- Fragrant, with lots of flavour development. Cedary notes, orange and maple syrup.
- Finish
- Sweet but also peppery.
- Comment
- The most herbal and spicy of these three bottlings, and the most distinctive.
Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Medium-weight, quite oaky — sawmills, cedar logs, varnish. A sweetness akin to maple syrup or candy floss and an orangey note.
- Palate
- Soft. Clean, fresh maltiness. Grips from mid-palate, building up charred notes. Clean, spicy.
- Finish
- Clean. Soft.
- Comment
- Aged in a Japanese-made, second-fill, US white oak cask, so no bourbon ageing involved. A worthwhile experiment typical of this enterprising distillery.
