Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 3 by Michael Jackson and Jim Murray.

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 appetising. Fresh sea air. Salty. Seaweed on the rocks. Fragrant, smoky.
Palate
Oily, tarry, chewy. Very spicy indeed. Stinging flavours. Lots of flavour development. Grassiness. Gorse. Flowering currant. Sweet mustard.
Finish
Pepper. Hot mustard. Grainy. Cumin.
Comment
A lovely coastal malt. It’s a shame that its surviving brother Clynelish is more muted.

Jim Murray

Nose
Bracing and intense. Sea-spray and sawdust and the lightest of smoke. Marvellously evocative and appealing.
Palate
Fat, massively bodied with powerful peat that was missing on the nose. The saltiness seeps through and the malts remains clean and chewy.
Finish
Intense vanilla and then drier oaky tones battle against the lingering sweet peat.
Comment
What a fabulous whisky of extraordinary complexity and wonderful balance. Masterful.
