Tasting Notes

Colour

light amber

air Nose

very similar to the 70 proof, just more powerful, and with the coffeeish notes being bolder, probably due to the highest level of alcohol. Lots of bitter chocolate too grainy and dusty, sour, cardboardy. ‘Fish at the end of the day at the market’. Sulphury… What happened? awful, I’m afraid. Lots of chemicals…

restaurant Palate

very powerful and rather spirity. Notes of distillation, ‘silver fork,’ and again lots of bitter chocolate. I think the 70 proof version was subtler, this time. Lower levels aren’t always pure nonsense! 86 points . Glen Mhor 8 yo (40%, G&M licensed bottling, 90’s) plain weird, sugary and soapy. Very difficult to enjoy this one, with its notes of dead crab ;-). An accident? 45 points Glen Mhor 15 yo (40%, G&M licensed bottling, 90’s) very soapy and dusty. Plain undrinkable. An accident again, most probably... 25 points . MUSIC – Heavily recommended listening: Rachael Yamagata sings one of her most beautiful songs, called Be be my love.mp3 (be patient, server a bit slow but it's worth it). Her new 'CD' has been recorded live at KCRW's 'Morning Becomes Eclectic' (the greatest radio show ever in my opinion) and it's fantastic. You can get it exclusively at iTunes - don't miss it. August 23, 2005 TASTING - TWO VERY YOUNG INDIE ARDBEGS and a new, experimental way of scoring - suggested by whisky friend Soup - that should please both the supporters of 'numerical scorings' and the ones who prefer simple stars (thanks, Soup!) Ardbeg 10 yo 1994/2004 (59.1%, Scotch Malt Whisky Society, 33.54)
