Tasting Notes
Colour
yellow gold
air Nose
that's funny, this one is rather similar but with just the 'original' part. Very sharp, straightforward, with lots of maritime elements, iodine, wet stones, lemons and maybe an even bolder smokiness. Gets then rather grassy, even more austere, flinty... No fruitiness or sweetness whatsoever in this one. Very nice but maybe a tad rigid
restaurant Palate
a little sweeter now, with even more lemon and grapefruit juices, zests, white pepper, tar and smoke... Too bad it gets quite drying after a while, with quite some grape seeds, over infused tea, dry cider... and then suddenly and curiously fruity, with lots of pear juice... Quite simple, I think, especially the finish that's balanced but maybe a little sweetish. A rather good one but it didn't impress me too much, especially after the brilliant experiment by the crazy Regensburgians! 84 points . CRAZY WHISKY ADS - WHISKY AND SHIPS - Part 4 Early Times 1979 'The way it was, the way it is.' To be compared with May 17th's entry. After 'everything changes but our whisky' it's 'nothing changes, including our whiskey'. MUSIC – Recommended listening: 1993, French band Les Négresses Vertes do Face à la mer.mp3 (Massive Attack remix). Please buy it!
