Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
starts hugely smoky and ashy. Coal fire, bonfire, oven, burning matchstick… It’s also rather fruity (apple and pear juice), with also something like peppered strawberries and finally notes of ginger tonic. Not extremely complex but quite different from an Islayer. Less ‘coastal’ than them and quite cleaner than most peated malts from the mainland – and with a perfect smokiness
restaurant Palate
we have exactly the same profile on the palate. Big smoke plus fresh fruits with a perfect balance and a long, smoky and ashy finish with a salty tang. Note to peat lovers: I don’t know if Glen Scotia made lots of peated malt so don’t miss this one! 87 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening - We're in 1959 and April Stevens does a slightly suggestive (and funny - and cultissim) Teach me tiger.mp3 . Wowowowowowahh! Please buy her music... PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK on vacation in Saint-Tropez August 10, 2006 MUSIC AND WHISKY INTERVIEW - DIEGO SANDRIN Great news, thanks to Maniac Luc Timmermans, we finally found a very successful rock musician who’s also a genuine, die-hard whisky freak: Italy’s excellent folk-rock singer and single malt collector Diego Sandrin. Diego spent part of his professional life in the US (he even wrote a song with Lisa Marie Presley) where he gave many successful gigs and his songs have been used in several movies, for instance in Hopwood DePree’s ‘The Last Big Attraction’. Last but not least, his latest CD 'Ten songs in the key of madness' has been voted #5 among Bilboard's Staff Top Ten, next to another Whiskfun favourite, John Fogerty's 'Déja vu all over gain'. Serge: Diego, please tell us briefly about what you do, music-wise. Diego Sandrin: I got my first record deal at 15, I formed a punk band in Pordenone Italy called Ice and the Iced, we were pretty succesful, our 7” published in 1981 is now selling in Ebay at around 300$. Now I have a record deal with Sirius Satellite Radio in New York and published my CD “Ten songs in the key of Madness”. I am a Singer/Songwriter in the style of Elliott Smith or Nick Drake, acoustic Alternative is what they call it. Serge: Which other musicians are you playing with? Diego: In the CD I had the pleasure and honour of having Pete Thomas on Drums (best known for his work with Elvis Costello) and Steve Jordan (Keith Richards, B.B. King, Sheryl Crow), also guitarist Smokey Hormel (Beck, Johnny Cash) an
timer Finish
long like a comet’s tail. Very, very good independent Bowmore, certainly a bang-for-you-bucks malt. Our ratings: OH 88 points, SV 88 points .` Bowmore 12 yo 1991/2003 (46%, Hart Bros, bottled July 2003) I’m not familiar with Hart Brothers, who seem to be much more active on the US market than in continental Europe. So, let’s see whether they do well with this ‘exercice de style’…
