Tasting Notes

straw

air Nose

ah, this batch is very different. Always these perfumy smells and bubblegum, but now there’s also lots of hot milk with caramel and vanilla cream. Not too bad!

restaurant Palate

again it’s better than the 1999. More defined, with more body. Caramel, sweet wine, vanilla cream, white fruits and kiwi, orange juice… Not un-enjoyable at all, I guess the next batches will be even better. 60 points . CRAZY WHISKY ADS - JIM BEAM BLACK'S ANSWER TO BLACK VELVET ANSWERING EVAN WILLIAMS ;-) Remember again... A few days ago (see January 31) Black Velvet was telling us that ' A smoother taste comes of age ' while showing us a beautiful young (but not too young) woman dressed in fur. Ah, smoothness, that's the thing, it appears, and Jim Beam Black won't argue. These two men are discussing - in small white letters: ' Smooth, mellow and refined. Actually we're talking about the bourbon ', while assuming we all saw the girl seated at the back first. Sure the ad is nicely composed for that - the only face on the ad and all that - but hey, the first thing we saw was the glass of whiskey, wasn't it? February 1, 2005 MUSIC - Recommended listening: Cuban born Canadian king of the 10-hole diatonic harmonica Carlos del Junco plays an astounding jazz-blues-funk piece called Funny thing - mp3 . Whether it's funny or not, I don't know, but very good it is! And the guitars... wow! Please buy Carlos' music.
