Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 26 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
Earthy. Riesling. Linseed oil.
Palate
Sweetish. Chocolatey. Sliced toasted almonds.
Finish
Warming. Soothing.
Comment
Pleasant as a ‘dessert whisky’, but lacks complexity.

Dave Broom

Nose
Weighty with almost carbonised notes (roasted nut/burnt almond), cooking chocolate, leather, fruit cake, spice and some smoke (turf/moss).
Palate
Soft, ripe and fruity with that burnt edge. Malaga. Soft, rounded and slightly dry. Good balance.
Finish
Dry with a nodule of sweetness. Good length and power.
Comment
Well-made and best neat, when that rich spirit comes through.
