Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
powerful but rather unimpressive, close to raw spirit. Hey, somebody in there? A little grainy, mashy, but that’s almost all. Maybe a little vanilla. Let’s try it with a little water, it’ll improve, I’m sure… Oh no, it’s not a swimmer. No further development, I’m afraid. An obvious lack of maturing – in my opinion of course
restaurant Palate
(neat) again, just raw spirit, with a little fruit (apple juice) and perhaps hints of violet and lavender sweets. Gets quite Sugarish. With water: it gets a little more vegetal, herbal, even a little acrid. Too bad, no interest whatsoever as far as I’m concerned (but I know Martine and Dave liked it, and they are the pros). Or a matter of tastes and colours?… 71 points . Just a few words about the Lindores Whisky Festival in Oostende, Belgium (I'm just back). It was a fantastic, very friendly event with lots of high-end old whiskies to taste, so lots of tasting notes to come on Whiskyfun. You should not miss the next one! (in 2008, I've heard). MUSIC – Recommended listening - Today we have some rather good 'honky-tonk country' (and God knows I'm...) by Truckstop Honeymoon , who are doing Johnny and June.mp3 . I think you should consider buying their music! February 5, 2006 TASTING - TWO CITRUSY ROSEBANKS Rosebank 12 yo 1991/2004 (43%, Signatory, casks #4700/02)
