Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

so much younger than expected! Fresh and little grassy. Hints of fern, dill, parsley… Some fruity notes (melon, pear). Very nice

restaurant Palate

sugary attack, with lots of typical old wood notes (varnish, wax polish). Lots of fructose, kiwi, passion fruit, with a rather long and peppery finish. Nice! 85 points . MUSIC - Recommended listening: this might well be the 15,247th time somebody records ' Whiskey in the Jar ' (mp3) but I quite like this 'live in a pub' feeling offered by the band Pubcrawler , from Austin, Texas. Please buy their CDs or attend their gigs if you can! Now, perhaps you'll prefer the funniest version I've everheard: Whiskey in the Jar (mp3) by a 10-12 yo school choir from Monza, Italy. CRAZY WHISKY ADS- Elliptic Cutty Sark campaign 1992 . Left: 'Drinking Cutty Sark won't make you seen more attractive. Or help you get a date. But if you really want to score points at a bar, there are other ways.' Right: ' If you're the type of person who thinks caviar tastes better when it costs $120 an ounce, you'd probably like Cutty Sark better if it cost $120 a bottle. Let us know. Our price tag can be easily changed .' I guess the copywriter had to taste the product a lot before he started writing these funny teasers. NEWS - Jean Donnay's Breton distillery Glann Ar Mor is now completely equiped - state of the art - and will get 'active' early next year. Now, Jean has also got a smaller wood-fired still he already used in 1999 at the very same place, hence his first official bottling: Taol Esa (see picture - no, it isn't a Bruichladdich valinch - Jim's influence? ;-). The whisky is said to be very good, but there are just 99 bottles... be quick!
