Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 5 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
Creamy, flowery. Very faint fresh peat-smoke.
Palate
Clean and dryish and nutty at first. Then creamy and toffeish, with hints of banana.
Finish
Surprisingly powerful sweet lime flavour. Flowery. Developing light dryness.
Comment
A lovely whisky for one so young. What will it be like at two or three times this age?

Jim Murray

Nose
A trace of sulphur makes for a discordant opening, but there is a big malt character, clean and sweet, which makes amends.
Palate
Again, immediately malt-sweet and intense with soft, chewy cream toffee depth. A little grapey fruitiness also in evidence.
Finish
Very long; malty with delicate spice. Excellent sweet/dry balance.
Comment
Quite exceptional for its age and pretty complex too. But loses marks for the poor nose.
