Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 11 by Michael Jackson and Jim Murray.

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
Still very fresh, but drier, with a touch more smokiness, and no obvious sherry.
Palate
Oilier. Very tangerine-like. Sweeter. Scenty. More complex.
Finish
Attractively appetising late echo of peat smoke.
Comment
Delicate but not bland. Real subtlety. Very mature, but not a hint of wood. A Highlander, but blindfold I would have placed it as a Speysider.

Jim Murray

Nose
Stupendous aroma: a posy of lilacs and blue bells which is heady and rich.
Palate
Drier than the nose suggests with an early arrival of firm oak. Sweetens as the malt arrives.
Finish
Decent bitter-sweet balance which perhaps levels out on the former but always with a barley-sugar undercurrent.
Comment
Held its age well and another gem for the sweet-toothed. Excellent.
