Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
very special, it smells like an un-smoky Laphroaig. Very medicinal, with some bandages, cod oil, lamp petrol, tar… Some funny smells of a brand new tyre. Very special indeed. Gets slightly metallic (oxidised copper)
restaurant Palate
rich and bold, very coating. Lots of wax, eucalyptus and tar. Quite some smoke, smoked tea (Lapsang Souchong), over-infused tea. Very, very interesting – I feel Convalmore was perhaps an overlooked distillery. Anyway, this one is a love-it-or-hate-it malt, and I love it. 90 points . MUSIC - Why the hell must the best ones leave early? Kevin Coyne , a musician and painter I liked very much, passed away on Thursday. Let's just pay tribute to him and listen to the highly energetic Sugar turns Sour or to the beautiful folk song God Watches (mpga - just change to 'mp3' if you want to download the tracks). And oh, did you know that Coyne was offered Jim Morrison's job in the Doors when the latter died? Coyne turned the proposition down, because he didn't, as he wrote himself, ' fancy wearing the leather trousers '. Independence at its best.
