Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 10 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
Rich. Polished oak. A little underlying charred-oak character.
Palate
Raisins. Madeira cake. Vanilla.
Finish
Hard toffee. Drying into slight charcoal
Comment
Even more age to handle, but it has wistful, nostalgic charm.

Jim Murray

Nose
A macho oaky, orangey nose hardly for the faint-hearted. Honey and tannin combine effectively but over leathery and aged.
Palate
An enormous eruption of oak takes an uncompromising grip.
Finish
Bitter and dry though a thread of burnt honey comb and chocolate.
Comment
Actually a massive improvement on the legendary 20 Years Old.
