Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 57 by Michael Jackson and Arthur Motley.

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
Youthfully acetic with a whiff of spirit above gentle smoke (bbq?) and a cereal base. Some caramel. Honey?
Palate
Quite light and dry at first; then surprisingly rich and gingery. Gingerbread.
Finish
Mild. Lovely late smoke development.
Comment
Elegant and uncomplicated. Refreshing and appetising. Hides its 50% ABV very well.

Arthur Motley

Nose
Lots of sherry, wood polish, tiramisu, tobacco and cinnamon toast.
Palate
Coffee drunk through a snorkel mask.
Finish
Bitter chocolate.
Comment
A sherry beast with rubbery horns. A drink to be chewed rather than sipped. It caught me in the right mood and I liked it.
