Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

rather cleaner but also a tad less expressive, starting more on vanilla, praline and fudge but developing on more or less the same kinds of grainy, mashy aromas. Quite some breadcrumb, beer… Gets then quite flowery (lily from the valley, buttercups). Also notes of hot praline and honey. I like it better even if it hasn’t got such a bold personality

restaurant Palate

very similar now but a little creamier, with more dried fruits, jam, vanilla crème, cake… Apple pie topped with vanilla ice cream and a little caramel. Certainly rounder than its younger sibling, maybe more polished. Really pleasant. 80 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening - It's Sunday, we go classical. We like old whiskies at Whiskyfun, and we like old music too. So, today we'll have an excellent 1915 recording of Alma Gluck singing Edward Horsman's The bird of the wilderness.mp3 . Isn't it beautiful? Alma Gluck is said to have been the first artist ever to have a million selling record in the history of recorded music!
