Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
this one is much fruitier, with quite some freshly squeezed oranges, tangerines and a little passion fruit, getting then quite mashy, almost feinty again (hints of muesli, yoghurt, cider and beer). Rather nice but far from being as elegant s the Alchemist’s
restaurant Palate
we’re in simpler territories here. Grassier, getting a little bitter, with notes of ginger and quite some peat. A certain acridness (lemon zest) but it’s still rather good whisky, probably a little oomphier than both the McNeill’s and the Alchemist’s. The finish is longer as well, more nervous, mostly on bitter oranges. Another one that’s quite good, even if simpler. 84 points . PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK MUSIC – JAZZ - Very strongly recommended listening - do you need to make up with 'modern' jazz? Then have a try at the amazing new trio Third Impulse playing Sheba's Hesitation.mp3 . So excellent and growing so funny after Darren Johnston's introduction on the trumpet! (I know he's not exactly Clifford Brown's reincarnation but he's really excellent, what do you think Peter?) Anyway, please Third Impulse's music!
