Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

fresh and rather vibrant at first nosing, with some bold notes of apple juice mixed with a little cinnamon. Nice notes of lemon balm, ripe kiwi and old white wine (a little rancio, hazelnuts), spearmint… Nice hot caramel, vanilla pods, getting a little cardboardy but the whole is very nice. And what an enjoyable freshness!

restaurant Palate

again, it’s rather enjoyable. Quite caramelly but also fruity (caramelized apples), with some notes of coffee, liquorice and toasted bread. Goes on with some cocoa, coffee beans, vanilla powder, cinnamon… To bad it lacks a little body but the whole is most enjoyable. The finish is a little short and drying (mostly on coffee beans) but again, this old young Scapa is perfectly sippable, even if, maybe, a little old fashioned. I quite like it: 82 points . December 22, 2005 CRAZY XMAS WHISKY ADS - SOCKS AND WHISKY A good old idea - and Seagram, again is king of recycling. Left, Dewar's , Xmas 1934 , 'A sock makes a wonderful 'Stocking' when filled with Dewar's.' - Middle, Seagram's Crown Royal , Xmas 1972, 'Just a little reminder. It's almost Christmas again.. - Right, Seagram's 7 Crown , Xmas 1990, ''Hint. Hint." You may think all that isn't very subtle and you're right. But Christmas advertising is rarely subtle, is it? MUSIC – JAZZ - Very highly recommended listening - When two virtuosi like Michel Galliano and Michel Portal play tango together, it gives us a pure thrill like their magnificent live rendition of Astor Piazzolla's famous Libertango.mp3 . Please buy their music and let's keep jazz (and tango) alive and kicking! TASTING - TWO GLEN SPEYS Glen Spey 12 yo (43%, James MacArthur, 2005)
