Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Polished oak, then smoky.
Palate
Lots of malt. Chewy, creamy, oily.
Finish
More crisply peaty.
Comment
Creamier than the 10 Years Old, but that softens the peatiness. Between these two, I preferred the peatier ten.

Jim Murray

Nose
Lychees and sweet white grape.
Palate
Immediately sweet with a slow implosion of peat that seems to arise from nowhere.
Finish
Long, lingering, massive malt frame.
Comment
Sheer brilliance. An absolute must for anyone who regards himself a whisky connoisseur.

Interested in whisky tasting, why not nose through our Nosing and Tasting booklet online. It is a great guide to get you started with nosing and tasting your whiskies.
