Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
probably the shyer of them all. A little spirity, getting then very grassy with just a little mint and liquorice… Maybe it’s the high alcohol, let’s try it with water: hmm, no, not much else happening, except maybe a little aniseed that we didn’t have before
restaurant Palate
sweet, spirity, extremely vanilled and fruity (ripe mellon). Much, much nicer than on the nose. Nice spiciness as well (pepper from the wood) but gets a little burning. With water: a little more mint but it dos not get any more complex I’m afraid, and the finish is in the same vein (nice notes of pears, vanilla and mint though). Good whisky but it’s a little ‘middle of the road’, especially when compared with the restless ‘Chinkapin’. 80 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: Most surprisingly, nobody ever complained about the fact that we had some Hot Tuna only once on Whiskyfun. Weird… Anyway, time to listen to the great Jorma and Jack (ex-Jefferson Airplane as you probably know) again, this time they’re doing Bowlegged woman, knock kneed Man.mp3 – live! Please buy their music! July 18, 2007 TASTING – 3 LAPHROAIGS + 3 UNDISCLOSED ISLAYERS Laphroaig 16yo 1988/2004 (46%, The Syndicate, bottled at Bruichladdich) A strange bottle that looks like an OB. Which kind of Syndicate is it? Sorry collectors, I have no further clues
