Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 35 by Michael Jackson 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

Michael Jackson

Nose
Incense, beeswax, cedar, roasted coffee, ripe fruits (kumquats cherries, plums).
Palate
Dense. Slippery. Toasty malt. Coffee, with figs and chicory.
Finish
Black treacle toffee. Perhaps even maple syrup.
Comment
A breakfast malt? Splendidly complex, with Japanese oak adding that extra touch of distinctiveness.

Michael Jackson

Nose
Complex, head-filling aromas. Perfumed, intense. Walking in a damp pine forest (needles, sap, spruce) pear, spice, malt, toasted nuts, light oak, crystallised ginger, sandalwood, deck varnish.
Palate
Crisp, clean and malty. Mature with balanced oak. Some light smoke in the background. All the flavours on the nose.
Finish
Long and complex.
Comment
A tremendous malt. World class.
