air Nose

oh no! I mean, yes! It’s a whole, it’s not a collection of aromas, just like the greatest wines. It’s actually hard to break it down into descriptors, but I could try. What’s striking me first is the earthiness that’s in this. Imagine you’re wandering in a long-forgotten mine or something… or a cave. There’s a mustiness, some saltpetre for sure, some mushrooms… Then you’re in an old garage, full of old cars (I could quote prestige makers but I won’t – or maybe Delahaye?), with scents of old leather, Bakelite, natural rubber, cardboard, used oil, concrete… Wait, how much time do we have? Yeah, so I’ll only add beeswax, old chartreuse and dried figs. There

is there a language for this? Semantics? A vocabulary? Shall we even dare commenting on this? First, once again, it’s a whole. It’s not a jigsaw, it’s a Turner. Listen, I may have tried ten whiskies that were as ‘high’ as this in my whole tasting life, or maybe even less, and each and every time I couldn’t not think of Duke Ellington. That must be some kind of disease. The great Dave Broom has just written, in a great article in Whisky Advocate about the Islay Jazz Festival, that yours truly ‘can’t listen to jazz and taste whisky’. That is true. Because jazz already is in the greatest whiskies. And in this one there’s Duke Ellington. Oh and the whole Duke Ellington Orchestra, with Juan Tizol and all those guys. Oh hell, please call the Anti-Maltoporn Brigade before it’s too late
