Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
much more aromatic than the OB. Lots of caramel and fruit jam, with a nice freshness. Hints of sherry. Sure, it smells just like almost all the G&M Speysiders… Wait, now there’s some heavy notes of coconut developing (almost like Malibu)… Funny!
restaurant Palate
quite bold and satisfying, with some elegant oaky notes and quite a lot of spices (white pepper, nutmeg, clove). Orange marmalade, camomile, praline, sherry, dried coconut… Too bad it gets then rather drying and too woody, the finish being quite dusty and peppery. Anyway , a very good Connoisseur’s Choice, a good step above the general style of the series. 84 points . February 14 , 2005 MUSIC - Recommended listening: Memphis based blues guitarist and singer Paul Wood does Good Day 4 Bad Whiskey - mp3 . Bad whiskey but very good straight ahead blues! Please buy Paul Wood's music if you like it. CRAZY WHISKY ADS - 1934: WHITE HORSE ON BLIND TASTING Interesting to see that in the pre-WWII era, whisky was still considered as inferior to liqueurs, perhaps meaning brandies such as Cognac. It was only when tasted blind - litterally - that White Horse could get the favours of A+ people, it appears. Now, it still happens more than often that non-whisky people exclaim 'Oh! This tastes almost like a Cognac!' when having a sip of a good old Single Malt... Oh sorry, I know that drives many whisky freaks crazy...
