Tasting Notes
백포도주처럼 옅은 빛이 잔 안에 맑게 감돈다. 프레시 셰리를 거쳤음에도 색은 담백하고, 향은 갓 벤 풀과 생강 에일, 사과 껍질 쪽으로 기운다. 단맛보다 푸른 기운이 앞서는 절제된 노즈다. 입에서는 46도가 곧게 서고 조린 사과와 바닐라의 단맛이 뒤늦게 배어 나온다. 1990년에 증류해 2004년에 담긴 12년의 시간은 화사함 대신 마른 골격을 남겼다. 여운은 길게 이어지되 곡물의 날카로움이 끝까지 따라온다.

air Nose
okay, I know it’s not very fair to taste this one ‘against’ a 36yo, but it was the only other sample of Glenury I had. Anyway, it’s very herbal, vegetal at first nosing, with even some ginger ale, aspirin, freshly cut grass, cabbage. Even turnips (for Baldrick?). Hard to enjoy this one, I must say. Extremely austere and lacking sweetness and roundness – to say the least. But quite curiously, it’s not overpowering at 62% - or is it me?

ouch, that’s new make! Quick, some water! Right, with water, the nose gets even more herbal and also much yeastier, whilst the mouth gets extremely sweet, with nothing but notes of very sweet cider, cooked apples, vanilla liqueur (do you know that vile stuff?) Extremely simple, with no sign of maturing. The finish is long but extremely spirity, even when reduced to 40% or so. No disgusting tastes in there, though, hence my 68 points . Baldrick aka Tony Robinson (in Black Adder) MUSIC – Highly recommended listening - King of ukulele Brook Adams doing Jimi's Purple haze.mp3 . Yes, on the ukulele, and I think he's totally brilliant. And there's also this , and this ... In short, you'd better buy Brook Adams' music or go to his shows asap! And I now declare that Brook Adams is whiskyfun's artist of the month - no sir, no second degree. A CD REVIEW - Well, not really! Thanks to a very funny website that 'hates everything', you just have to enter the name of an album, band, singer or song and it will pull information about it from Amazon and generate a very mean review. I tried it by typing 'Britney Spears' and here's what 'it' wrote... " Britney Spears' Britney, an object lesson in filth... Like an exploding zit gently squirting sebum into your brain, the opening track, I'm A Slave 4 U is a perversion that may actually appeal to a small group of sick fucks hiding in a basement somewhere in Illinois. Lonely is about as hip as my mother's attempts at the Lambada. It's a vision of hell that not many people live to see, I promise you. Like a cheap keyboard being played by a God-fearing christian fund raiser outside Tesco's, the version of I Love Rock 'n' Roll Featured In "Crossroads" should not be played to the vulnerable. Or those with ears. Too much track twelve, What It's Like To Be Me is bad for your health. I recommend taking up injecting heroin into your eyeballs instead. It tickles a bit, but the rush is awesome. In fact, there's no excuse for people buying this and t
