Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
starts on some bold, simple but beautiful fresh fruits (just apples and pears but of the best kinds), together with quite some paraffin and, of course, smoke. The balance is perfect, with also some very clean farmy notes, a little tar and some notes of smoked salmon. Extremely compact and ‘coherent’, I like it a lot
restaurant Palate
rather smooth at first sip, although very ‘solid’. Maybe a little weaker (or ‘less bold’) than on the nose, but with, again, lots of fresh apples. Un-sugared tea, apple skins, fresh walnuts… The finish is long, with something ‘Kidaltonely’ medicinal. Anyway, a superb old Caol Ila, no doubt. Too bad I couldn’t taste it head-to-head with the 25 yo OB, I’ll try to do that one day. 91 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening - A 'quirky post-grunge quartet' indeed, and they knew their Beatles! Have a go at Dynamite Hack playing Boyz in the hood.mp3 in 1999 and you'll see what I mean - and please buy their music. November 18, 2005 CONCERT REVIEW by Nick Morgan BILL FRISELL , Barbican, London, November 15th 2005 Hey Serge. Do you remember when you were a little boy with shorts and bruised knees sitting in your school classroom on a long sunny late summer afternoon? Did they make you learn and sing those weird songs that you didn’t quite understand ? Like all those fair Spanish ladies who you always had to say farewell to ? Or two two the lilywhite boys clothed all in green ho ho ? Or my land is your land is your land my land my land is your land ? No ? Well I did. And of all the songs that have stuck in my mind one, ‘Oh Shenandoah’, always comes back to me. It’s just what a schoolboy wanted - wide open spaces, the Wild West, cowboys and, err… Native American Indians, romance, and the adventure of the endless rolling river all wrapped up in one. Cinemascope pictures merging in the autumn-burnished leaves blowing through a deserted school playground. Enough purple prose - back to Shenandoah. It’s a river apparently, but as for the song – well that’s a mystery left to the speculations of numerous internet chat rooms (have a look, it’s fascinating). But I still love it because my meaning of the song is etched firmly in my memory, so when I first listened to Bill Frisell ’s hypnotic and haunting instrumental version (aided by the odd bit of Ry Cooder) from his 1999 album Good Do
