Tasting Notes
Colour
bronze
air Nose
immediately more interesting than most other finishings done at Springbank I think. We have a huge farminess, with whiffs of wet dog (pick your 'brand') and lots of smoked tea. Sort of peaty, with also lots of manure. Once those wild aromas vanish a little we get strawberries and apricots and much more refinement, with also hints of old walnuts and leather. Sort of heady, nicely
restaurant Palate
sweeter and, alas, weirder, with smells of rotting oranges, scented soap, pineapple sweets and all kinds of Turkish delights. Very strange, closer to most other finishings done 'on' Springbank or Longrow recently. A bit hard I must say, or maybe I'm not perverse enough. The nose was quite beautiful but the palate is, let's say wacky. And I didn't mention the rubber and the sulphur. Now, I really enjoyed the nose, hence my 80 points . CRAZY WHISY ADS – THE WAR OF THE DECANTERS part 6 1957: right, this is no whiskey but I love this hugely kitschy one by Smirnoff vodka, called the ‘Pinnacle Decanter’! 1958: Old Grand-Dad ‘The Head of the Bourbon Family… at the head of your gift-list’ Interesting contrast between the modern-shaped decanter and the… er, bust. 1958: Schenley strikes back with their Heirloom Decanter. Ueber-kistch composition with the biscuit singers etc… 1958: In the meantime, Old Forster keeps issuing very modern shapes. ‘The same fine Old Forester… packaged in the holiday spirit.’ December 11, 2006 PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK TASTING - HIGHLAND PARK GALORE: SIX NEW BOTTLINGS Highland Park 13 yo 1992/2006 'Jungfrau' (58.7%, Angel's Share, Switzerland, cask #20369, 288 bottles) A crazy experiment by Swiss retailer Angel's Share. In 2005 they bought a cask of 1992 first fill oloroso Highland Park and stored it for one year at the Jungfraujoch (3454 m) where the temperature is very cold and the air very dry. The whole story is there . I've been told the whisky lost around 5% alcohol in the process
