Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 57 by Martine Nouet and Michael Jackson.

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

Martine Nouet

Nose
Peaty and spicy. Curry. Quite zesty. Créosote.
Palate
Smooth at first, gently flowing down. Gets spicier but keeps a delicate malty sweetness. Smokier than on the nose. Hint of thyme. Spices keep the word.
Finish
Dry, smoky. Liquorice root.
Comment
A very good balance between nose and palate. An island character with a pleasant earthy background.

Michael Jackson

Nose
Calm and understated. Faint phenols hover over modestly smoky, grainy base notes.
Palate
Exquisite fruity malt character. Clootie dumpling? Becomes sharper with water.
Finish
More indulgent than the nose would suggest, and only slightly smoky.
Comment
Beautifully composed. Focused. Elegant, mature structure belies the inherent strength of this malt.
