Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

this one is completely different. Very sherried, starting extremely coffeeish and chocolaty. Lots of sultanas, chicory coffee. Develops on very bold notes of old rancio (it smells almost like an old Rivesaltes) and quite some cloves, and then it gets rather hotter, with quite some old red wine (maybe a little tired), Grand-Marnier and whiffs of soy sauce, getting very also very mushroomy (dried Chinese mushrooms). Not 100% sure the malt could stand the heavy sherry but the palate will tell…

restaurant Palate

a classic, sherried attack, dry and quite smoky. Very chocolaty, with a lot of ‘rough’ rum (Stroh!) and fruitcake. Gets really vinous, also some honey sauce, liqueur-filled chocolates, something herbal (thyme?)… The finish is rather long but a little drying now, like a 90% cocoa chocolate. Not the best sherried Speysider ever but not an unpleasant one either. 81 points . CRAZY WHISKY AD - WINTER SPORTS - A SHORT HISTORY - Part 1 Turin's Winter Olympics just kicked off and I thought it would be funny to see how winter sports and whisky have often been associated in advertising. At least when skiing was trendy and part of the obligatory 'Western' lifestyle... So, let's start our chronological review today with... Left, VAT 69 , 1928: 'Quality Sells - This Brand has been in the same family since its inception, and is quite independent.' Note the 'quite' and the beautiful graphics. Right, Four Roses , 1940. America wasn't at war yet and it was cool to have a few hot toddies after a good day of skiing... Cool cap and goggles! (which reminds me, I have to post a few wartime ads one day - very interesting, I think.) MUSIC – It's Sunday, we go classical with Danemark's Inger Dam-Jensen singing Schumann's Spillemanden Op.40.mp3 (Christen Stubbe Teglbjaerg). Please buy her records and go to her concerts!
