Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 21 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. Bison-grass. A hint of smokiness.
Palate
Earthy. Peppery. Sandy. Austere.
Finish
Fruity. Seaweed, pronounced salt. Very appetising.
Comment
From a sadly silent still: a great malt that is too good to chill, but wonderful with smoked salmon or scallops. Or, deservedly, caviar. You serve vodka? Shame on you!

Dave Broom

Nose
Intense and haughty. There’s oils at work along with fresh bay leaf and an austere, flinty smokiness. Maritime.
Palate
Dry and austere initially but manages to coat the mouth leaving lingering smoke in every corner.
Finish
Long dry with some oiliness.
Comment
Takes time to get to know. One to sip.
