Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
extremely perfumy, notes of mead, overripe fruits. Whiffs of paint thinner, getting very orangey. Notes of sangria wine, apple wine… I think it’s plain weird but perhaps some would like it very nice, grassy and flowery. Heather, meadow flowers, hot milk… Perhaps a bit dry and austere, I think
restaurant Palate
very strange, on chemical fruit juices (Tang), green plums, getting quite metallic (silver spoon). Some plum sauce. Really strange, I think, but some other malt maniacs sort of liked it. 68 points . Glenlochy 24 yo 1980 (58.6%, Scotch Malt Whisky Society, 62.11) very hot, tannic, herbal. Gets quite sugary after a moment… It keeps improving, developing on icing sugar and fresh fruits. Yet, it remains a bit too ‘neutral’ but it isn’t bad malt at all. 83 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: Elvis Presley does Are you lonesome tonight.mp3 live. LOL!!! I now this version is famous but listen to it again, it's irrestistible and very refreshing! One question, though: did he fire the chorist after the recording? July 20, 2005 TASTING - TWO RECENT FRENCH BOTTLINGS Celtique Connexion ‘Vin de Paille’ 1992/2004 (43%, Celtic Whisky Compagnie, 385 bottles) This one is a single malt scotch whisky that’s been further matured near the sea, in Brittany. The cask contained some ‘straw wine’ from Jura (East of France) previously – a very sweet and quite powerful wine that’s made out of grapes that are dried for a few months before pressing. The ‘Vins de Paille’ are not vinous at all usually but a little sugary, so I must confess I feared this one would be too ‘sweetish’ for my tastes. Let's see
