Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에 깊게 비친다. 1960년 던컨 맥베스 앤 컴퍼니에 의해 봉인된 20년산 달모어는 1940년대 초반에 증류된 옛 달모어의 자취를 담고 있으며, 향에서는 무화과 잼과 묵은 가죽, 다크 초콜릿, 시거 박스의 결이 또렷이 풀려난다. 입에서는 43%의 절제된 도수가 자두 시럽과 정향, 호두의 결을 부드럽게 끌어올리고 옛 하이랜드 몰츠 위스키의 무게가 단단히 비친다. 여운은 가죽과 코코아로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
mahogany, quite lighter than the Loch Dhu
air Nose
starts quite weirdly, on overcooked coffee and cheap perfume, with some smoke – some smoke from an exhaust pipe, that is. Pear drops, orange marmalade… Not ‘too’ bad in fact but the bigger problems are soon to arrive, with some strange notes of stale Campari, Schweppes, ‘chemical’ orange juice (Tang), cheap grapefruit juice, bubblegum, grape juice… Lots of aromas you don’t usually find in a single malt, in fact. Funny, yes, it’s funny… but almost disgusting as well! very special. Lots of roasted coffee beans and fresh herbs (dill, celery). Gets then quite meaty (smoked ham, beef bouillon). Some soy sauce too…
restaurant Palate
ouch! Weak and watery attack, on old vase water. Develops on all sorts of ‘chemical’ tastes: Nutrasweet, cheap sweets, rotten orange zest, American restaurant coffee at the end of the day, burnt butter… Yuck! Now, this one is a swill! Finally, the Loch Dhu has found its evil master, it appears! He he he… 35 points . Next time I'll oppose Glen Kella 'The White Whisky' and an old White Duck. Not sure 'black' isn't nicer, to be honest... MUSIC - Recommended listening - in the mood for some high-speed 'electrified bluegrass, garage country, and Appalachian punkabilly'? I'm sure you'll answer you could not have waited any longer, won't you? Try Boston based band ' 3 Day Threshold ' playing Whiskey, you're the Devil (mp3) then. Energetic - and to be enjoyed while sipping Loch Dhu or Cu Dhub! SPECIAL RECIPE - After Sandy's clootie dumpling flambé with Brora 30yo, my good old friend Paul Adam just sent me this new recipe of the Fondue Savoyarde with Old Potrero 2 yo (old indeed). Mind you, the whisky's not been used as an ingredient, but as the necessary combustible. In fact, The recipe is very easy: 1. pour some Old Potrero into the burner instead of industrial alcohol and light. 2. prepare your mix with Swiss cheese, white wine, kirsch, pepper and nutmeg and put it onto the burner. Let it melt: it's ready. Bon appétit! By the way, that would probably work with any high-proof malt as well, like for instance Port Ellen 22 yo 1978 rare Malts or Brora 22 yo 1972 Rare Malts, but maybe all these phenols will then clog the burner...

Where are the stars and scores? Where are the points and prizes? Without these we cannot see truth, we cannot sense beauty ”. Well, “Bah humbug” says I. But with an unusually seasonal gesture of goodwill to The Hooded Ones, here’s my 2004 NM Music Awards Winners. Gig
