Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
full smoke and peat with lemon juice and cooked apples. Not complex at all but very, very enjoyable
restaurant Palate
more rounded and balanced, a bit sweeter than Laphroaig but also a little cleaner and fresher. A perfect vatting, certainly better than a 8 yo Laphroaig or a 8 yo Caol Ila. Does a vatting bring more maturity to whisky? That’s also what for instance the Bruichladdich ‘3D’ suggests… Anyway, 86 points for this most friendly German pirate. MUSIC – Recommended listening (again something arty a la Momus): Dr Nick (yes) plays Romance! (full movie+credits).mp3 . He's quite good at playing 'detuned' on purpose (it's on purpose, right?) and I like his work pretty much. Please buy Dr Nick's music if he ever sells it!
