Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts more powerful, almost spirity, which sort of blocks its development for a while – juts a while. It then takes off beautifully. Probably not as extravagant as the Signatory but just as enjoyable. The fruits are fresher (and less cooked) but they are more or less the same: apricots, mirabelle plums and melon, spices, maybe a little ginger, caramel sauce… Quite honeyed, at that, with also little whiffs of camphor. Slightly rougher, sharper, but not less enjoyable, and certainly very elegant. Another classy Laddie
restaurant Palate
now it’s this one that’s the fruitiest. Mirabelle plums again, watermelon jam, pomegranates… And, should I say ‘of course’, melons… We have also, again, a great bitter structure and quite some spices such as white pepper, cloves, nutmeg, a little cumin and a pinch of salt… Very interesting again but there’s a little too much alcohol, let’s add a few drops of water… Right, it gets a little mintier, with also more liquorice, chlorophyll chewing-gum… And there’s an excellent, rather minty finish. Another excellent, quite complex Bruichladdich for aficionados who don’t only believe in peat and sherry. 88 points (tie - and thanks Pierre and Nikos ). CRAZY WHISKY AD - WINTER SPORTS - A SHORT HISTORY - Part 8 Left, Canadian Club , 1975: 'If you Space Ski Mount Asguard... before you hit the ground, hit the silk!' A very worthy piece of advise! And here's another useful ad by Canadian Club... Right, Canadian Club , 1975: 'Skibobbing the Trockener Steg is really exciting. In fact, it lifted Sandy right out of her seat!' Poor Sandy! But the ad tells us that luckily, the only thing bruised was her ego... MUSIC – Recommended listening - Innovative (although not on this piece) musician Frank Lenz does Bullets in the wall.mp3 . Quiet, nicely crafted and as good as Neil 'Harvest' Young or James Taylor? Maybe... Anyway, please buy Frank's music, it's very cool!
