Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 34 by Michael Jackson and Dave Broom.

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
Very aromatic. Fresh cedar. Coconut.
Palate
Intense. Tar-like. Rooty. Sappy. Earthy. Piney.
Finish
Liquorice. Spicy. Peppery.
Comment
Its edgy assertiveness might bother aesthetes but I warm to a whisky that knows its own mind.

Dave Broom

Nose
Very intense and hot without water, quite oaky. Sharpened pencils and orchard fruits. Water brings a sauna-like piney oiliness. Clean, citric.
Palate
Softer and more zesty than you'd expect, though it carries the heat of high alcohol all the way. A fiery beast.
Finish
Becomes perfumed in the drying glass.
Comment
Packs a real impact.
