not excessively bold either but starting on lots of varnish, furniture polish and turpentine. You have to like that but I do. It gets then nicely camphory, with notes of eucalyptus, before it switches to cigar tobacco and leather. All that is rather elegant, I must say, with a feeling of ‘antiques shop’. It keeps developing on dried fruits (apricots, bananas, coconut slices) together with quite some vanilla crème (what we call ‘English crème’), spices (white pepper, nutmeg) and cocoa powder. Something slightly meaty as well. Very nice indeed, sort of different, which compensates a certain lack of expression despite the rather high A.B.V

it’s much punchier now but also a little simpler I think. We do have something sweet and sour (overcooked wine sauce), dried fruits (oranges, almonds), a little fructose and liquorice but also quite some cocoa and white pepper. It’s really tannic and woody, in fact, getting rather drying after a few seconds in your mouth. Hints of cough sweets, eucalyptus, mint drops… The finish is medium long, quite enjoyable, less drying than feared and with a nice bitterness (strong tea and dried coconut). An old Glen Mhor that does show signs of old age despite its oomph, but that’s very interesting to try, with something that reminds me of some old sweet wines that got dry with age (Rivesaltes). Probably not very consensual. 85 points . MUSIC – It's Sunday, we go classical with the great, great late Lucia Popp (not Iggy's sister - sacrilege!) singing O waer ich schon mit dir vereint.mp3 (from Beethoven's Fidelio). How good she was and what a loss! April 8, 2006 CONCERT REVIEW by Nick Morgan THE ROLLIN STONED Half Moon, Putney, London, April 1st 2006 Well Serge, I have to say that it’s all looking a bit ‘soixante-huit’ in your lovely France at the moment, what with all your riots and things; you know, flying cobble stones, masked students throwing Molotov cocktails (cask-strength of course), tear gas, rubber bullets and so on. Of course back here in good Old Blighty we really prefer ‘soixante-neuf’. So that’s partly why we’ve come down to Putney to enjoy " The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Tribute Band in the World ". Of course the other reason is that we had tickets to see the Rolling Stones at our great new Wemberly Stadium (ah – ‘soixante-six’, I still remember it so well) in August. But now the stadium will not be built on time – I blame the Australian contractors, revenge for taking their Ashes from them I suppose – and who knows if we will ever get to review the grand old dames of rock ‘n roll for Whiskyfun. Let me get this straight. I really don’t get tribute bands – apart from
