Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 20 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
Gently fruity, perfumy, smoky.
Palate
Light on the tongue. Flowery. Oat-like flavours. Some maltiness. Vanilla sweetness.
Finish
Light. A touch of spiciness.
Comment
The vinho verde colour suggests a very light whiskey, and this certainly is, in both body and flavour. This bottling seems markedly thinner than the last vintage I tasted.

Dave Broom

Nose
Attractive, obviously young but not immature. Grassy with a touch of muesli, sweet almonds and juicy malt. Sauvignon Blanc/green rhubarb ferment notes.
Palate
Sweet and fresh all the way through: peaches, blossom and clover. Light nutty malt mid-palate with that winery/grapey note at the back.
Finish
Peaches in syrup (en regalia?) then dry cereal.
Comment
Hugely drinkable. Young but sweetly vibrant.
