Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
we’re very, very far from the 1987, I’m afraid. Almost closed at first nosing, with just something mineral and citric at the same time… And then we have invading notes of soaked newspapers, Alka-Seltzer, gin-fizz, paraffin, ‘chemical’ lemon juice, wet chalk… Rather bizarre and not very enjoyable, I’m afraid. And then it gets even weirder, with something like old oysters and fermenting grass. It gets even farmier with a little water, but also very cheesy, almost dirty (gym socks)
restaurant Palate
punchy but very unusual again, with exactly the same phenomenon happening. Lots of chemical citric notes, cheap sweets, icing sugar, Jell-O (the worst flavours), aspirin, cardboard… And the finish is rather long but bitter and acid at the same time… Ah well, I have no luck with the recently distilled Longrows, I must say – and God knows I’m trying hard! I guess it’s me, because I know some guys liked it – and not only members of the Springbank Society. I should add that I did let it breathe for another half an hour and that it got a tad better indeed (a little less ‘chemical’ and much saltier) but that wasn’t enough for it to deserve more than 73 points in my books (whilst water almost killed it). Now, it’s really unusual whisky, and unusual often means interesting… April 2, 2006 TASTING - THREE BURGUNDIAN GLENMORANGIES Glenmorangie 'Burgundy Finish' (43%, OB, 2005 bottling) Finished for a few months
