Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark straw
air Nose
very spirity at first nosing, with the alcohol sort of masking all other aromas. Switches to hot butter and pear juice for a moment, before it gets a little flowery. Hints of varnish, and then lots of radish, mustard, freshly cut grass. Again, a special malt starts on caramel cream, grain and cardboard but not much else, I’m afraid. Not too bad but not really interesting very herbal, dry and yeasty. Sawdust, cardboard… Hints of dried oranges
restaurant Palate
bold and powerful, rather sweet right at the start but soon to get quite herbal and a little bitter. Burnt cake, over infused tea, overcooked coffee… Notes of pineapple juice (the alcohol). Gets really tannic and drying. Some notes of tequila with limejuice, ginger ale. In short this one’s good but it lacks a little complexity and depth for my tastes. 80 points . Dailuaine 1971 (40%, G&M CC old map label) just like any MOTR blended whisky. Grainy and dusty, getting drying. Some notes of cheap, overcooked tea, industrial caramel dessert. I’m sorry but it’s quite boring. 69 points . Dailuaine 14 yo 1979 'Friars Carse' (59.7%, The Whisky Connoisseur, cask #8965) dry, herbal, with some notes of rotten oranges and caramel. Gets very bitter. Too difficult to enjoy, I’m afraid, but good news: I think they only did some minis ;-). 63 points . MUSIC – Highly recommended listening: if, like some other maniacs, you often complained about the fact that bagpipes neither swing nor rock, maybe it's time to have a go at Taxi Chain , from North Mississippi, doing James Brown ate my bagpipes.mp3 . Get prepared to roll on the floor and please buy Taxi Chain's music! (via livinblues ) CRAZY RUMOUR: EGYPT IN SCOTLAND? It's no secret that building tourist attractions in the vicinity of a Scottish distillery is an interesting way of improving its cash flow. It's also well known that Egyptomania rules since quite some decades now and that's why a leading drinks company is said to have decided to build three 'Cask Pyramids' in the courtyard of a famous Speyside distillery. Their names should be McKeehops, McKeefreain and McMeeckereenos. McGowan of Glasgow's new Cask Pyramid Builder August 11, 2005 MUSIC – BLUES - Recommended listening: truely excellent harmonica player and vocalist Paul deLay does a finely crafted Too old to scold.mp3 . He's brilliant on the chromatic harp and he's also a great composer. In short, please buy his music! (via livinblues ) TASTING – THREE INDIE T******RS ;-) T
