With its curiously greeny-white colour, this one actually looks like a ghost. A shadow of a great malt.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Faint spearmint. Papery.

Palate: Thin, empty, drying. Tastes like exhausted chewing gum.

Finish: Papery, woody.

Comment: With its curiously greeny-white colour, this one actually looks like a ghost. A shadow of a great malt.

Score: 6

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Very, very pale. There's a wisp of smoke, a touch of light blossom and a hint of the smell that you get inside a new welly boot (not a bad thing in my opinion).

Palate: Very light with central sweetness and that light smoke again.

Finish: Just disappears.

Comment: All very light with no interplay between cask and whisky. Disappointing.

Score: 6.5
