Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
much sharper, more spirity, very grainy and nutty. Certainly more middle-of-the-road than the two Glenuries we just had. Gets then grassier (hay), with quite some paraffin, diesel oil… quite rough but actually quite stylish at the same time. We have also whiffs of turpentine and linseed oil. A painter’s studio?
restaurant Palate
sweet, waxy again, but gets quite acrid, grassy, peppery, drying… Not much pleasure on the palate this time. Like if you chewed wax – or rather paraffin
timer Finish
long, herbal, with still a lot of paraffin and green tannins. This one is a little difficult I think but it’s an interesting variant, more austere. 81 points. PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK in Saint-Tropez (We certainly hope there’s nobody out there named Marie-Françoise de la Molletière) MUSIC – JAZZ - Recommended listening: There must be something between latin jazz and all female flutists! Indeed, after the fab Jane Bunnett, here's the very excellent Andrea Brachfeld playing an energic E.S.P.mp3 (clip) con mucho gusto. Please buy her music... August 29, 2007 TASTING – CAOL ILA EXTRAVAGANZA, part 2/2 (sixteen aged 14 or more) Caol Ila 14yo 1992/2006 (46%, The Way of Spirits)
