Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Very faint sulphur. Some peat smoke. As the whisky opens, nutty malt and flowering currant emerge.
Palate
Smooth. Malty, condensed milk. Nougat. Pistachio nuts.
Finish
Nut-skins. Slightly grainy. Crisp dryness.
Comment
It is always interesting to taste a Macallan that is less sherried than usual. This one could have been rounder.

Dave Broom

Nose
Intense, weighty and quite oaky: brown butter, coriander powder, chocolate/mocha. With water: gorse, toffee, light turfy smoke, lemon.
Palate
Sweet yet dry: soft fruit, rich tea biscuits, herbs and roasted spices, almond/hazelnut dryness
Finish
Medium length, some juiciness and a woody grip.
Comment
An apparently contradictory package, dry yet sweet, that just manages to hold together.
