Tasting Notes

Colour

amber with a reddish hue

air Nose

lots of wood and pepper jumping to your nose. Quite a lot of smoke and some rather interesting fruity notes (strawberry jam, overripe raspberry). Some ‘perfumy’ notes but not too disturbing this time

restaurant Palate

bold and powerful. Winey. Lots of pepper and whiffs of smoke, getting a little meaty. Long finish, on liquorice and pepper. Much better than expected. 80 points . October 8, 2004 MUSIC - Take a good dram from Islay, click here , then close your eyes, and imagine you're in a pub in Scottland, Ireland, or any other 'Celtic' place. It works, doesn''t it? But what's this music, you may ask? It's Great Big Sea , from Newfoundland, playing 'Billy Peddle'. Another good tip from my friend Peter - thanks, pal! BRORA NEWS : Not many new bottlings these days, but Duncan Taylor will bottle a new Brora 1981 next week, in their 'Peerless' series (and not as a 'Rarest of the Rare' bottling as their website says.) TASTING - TWO BENROMACH Benromach 15 yo (40%, OB, circa 2000) An older bottling that's been replaced with the 18yo
