Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 57 by Martine Nouet and Michael Jackson.

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

Martine Nouet

Nose
Very herbal. Angelica, lemon grass. Like a chartreuse. Quite pleasant.
Palate
Smooth at start then getting assertively oaky and bitter. The herbal notes keep on.
Finish
Quite short, slightly biscuity.
Comment
The nose is appealing but the palate far tougher. Water eases the release of grassy notes. But the aromatic profile keeps shallow.

Michael Jackson

Nose
Lemonade/Lucozade. Spritzy-sweetsharp. Pink bubblegum. All this, yet well formed and not overpowering. (Japanese levels of complexity!)
Palate
Simple and somewhat winey at first. Then chocolate. A little nutty?
Finish
Oily perhaps and a little toasty.
Comment
Funky nose is compromised by a relatively straightforward palate. Still enjoyable enough, though.
