Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
just superb, on some beautiful rum and Smyrna raisins. Plus, of course, the best sherry. It gets quite meaty, together with some dark toffee and lots of chocolate. The sherry is quite heavy but the whole is greatly balanced
restaurant Palate
beautiful attack on fudge and baskets of dried fruits. So lively and powerful at the same time! Extremely compact, at that, with lots of soft spices and a bit of orange flower water. Just superb. 92 points . CRAZY WHISKY ADS - BRAGGERS AND BRAGGARTS - PART 4: Don't be afraid, show your competitors! Above, left: George Dickel , 1969: ''The other one. George Dickel is the other great Tennessee Sour Mash Whisky. We're not famous yet. But we will be. (...) George Dickel. We won't be the other one long." Above, right: Barton'sQT , 1971: ''Barton's QT is lighter and milder than any whiskey you've ever tasted. Because it's distilled at a higher proof than traditional whiskey. And it's stored in selected, seasoned barrels (...) By next year, we expect that many other distillers will be selling whiskey distilled at higher proof than traditional American whiskey and stored in used barrels.But there won't be another whiskey as light and smooth as Barton's QT for a long, long time." Right: Cutty Sark , 1974: ''When the place finally closes and the boss says "let's us have one"... Launch a little Cutty." MUSIC – Recommended listening: maybe this will surprise some people but I just discovered Jake Thackray 's beautiful songs while browsing the Web. If you're in the mood for some tender folk songs, please have a listen to either Last will and testament - mp3 or I Stayed Off Work Today - mp3 . Jake Thackray passed away two years ago, so I'll never have the opportunity to see him live. Too late, too bad... But please buy his music (via M.
