Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light straw
air Nose
less spectacular than the W&M. A little closed – needs a little water. Then lots of fruity notes emerge, like strawberry, both fresh and cooked, apple, pineapple. Develops on some nice and quite discrete smoke and peat. Hints of burnt cake, breadcrumb. Really nice. Some white rum
restaurant Palate
starts on lavender, thyme, pine tree resin, strawberry jam, orange marmalade. Rather perfumy, not unlike some OBs. Develops on dried orange, milk chocolate, dried figs. It keeps improving, with more and more dried fruits, and always some nice smoke and pepper. Its finish is extremely long, on Christmas cake. A good, solid overproof Bowmore. 86 points . BRORA NEWS : Okay, I was a little too quick when I spoke of a new Duncan Taylor Brora to be bottled this week. I've just learnt the operations will be slightly delayed, but Malt Maniac's Luc Timmermans just brought this picture back from Scotland. Yes, it's a picture of the cask #1426, precisely that one. Not bottled yet, indeed. Thanks Luc! Btw, Maltmaniacs' issue #11 is now on-line. Plenty of breaking news! October 18, 2004 MALTS - New feature: I just added some stars to each malt I tasted, for quicker and better reading.. means less than 70 points, between 70 and 79, between 80 and 84, between 85 and 89, 90 points or more. TASTING - TWO LOCHSIDES Lochside 1991/2004 (46%, G&M for LMW, cask #15189) I think 1991 was Lochside’s last year of distilling
