Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a little spirity, quite punchy and very fruity, with notes of tinned pineapple, apples and peaches. A little raw and not very ‘precise’ I’d say. Whiffs of soda water and black pepper, and maybe hints of soap. Below par as far as the nose is concerned
restaurant Palate
simple, still quite fruity and spirity, with notes of kirsch and plum spirit. Hints of caramel. This one tastes like wood-matured fruit spirit. Again a little soap, I’m afraid
timer Finish
quite long but still very simple and rather indefinite, even if the fruity signature isn’t that unpleasant. Very far behind the OB’s, all OB’s. 70 points . Bruichladdich 1992/2007 'Fishky' (50.2%, Stupid Cask, Germany) Ho-ho-ho! This is a very funny experiment made by some German guy, who bought a bourbon cask of Bruichladdich new make and let it mature in Scotland and then let it being re-racked in sherry in 2001, and finally let it being shipped to Berlin last year. Guess what, he did then a herring cask finishing on it to pay tribute to the early distillers who used to use herring casks to transport whisky (Well, just any casks I think). All that with lots of humour, he even chose ‘Stupid cask’ as the bottler’s name. Good one! Let’s try it now…
