Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw with a salmony hue
air Nose
starts on wood and wine, with some hints of three-star Cognac. Quite flowery (peony). Gets then quite buttery, with some milk caramel, overripe apple. Hints of vase water and old books. Again, something special. Quite weak!
restaurant Palate
what a strange attack, on burnt wood, dust and cheap rum. Gets really bitter after a moment. Some rosewater, Turkish delight, bubblegum…Hard to say it tastes like a Single Malt. Much closer to some ‘foreign’ experiments, like Guillon in Champagne or even India’s Sikkim, than to any SMSW. Short and watery finish, on melon liquor. Ouch. 45 points . MUSIC - Highly recommended listening - coz they are really extraordinaires! Yes, Shibboleth is mastering the art of pastiche better than Pizzicato Five! Try for instance Black Onions (mp3). As somebody wrote on their website: ' This band will pin you to your chair and restyle your hair' . That's certainly true, and anyway, you must encourage them and buy their music. And oh, let's also listen to their wonderful early-Zappa-inspired track ' One of the Millions ' (mp3). Ah, these old keyboards! There are lots of other downloadable tracks on their website, some being more experimental - try them all! These guys are really brilliant - please buy their music (yes, I know, I insist - heavily). December 11, 2004 MUSIC - Enough with the music from the North! It's chilly outside, so I feel I need something mucho caliente these days... Oh, why not start with most sucessful 'Franco-Espanol activist' (LOL) Manu Chao ? Like, do you know the King of the Bongo ? Or Me Gustas Tu ? (both mp3) Please buy Manu's music if you like it. It'll warm up your bones and refresh your mind. TASTING - TWO BRAND NEW INDIE 25 yo HIGHLAND PARKS Highland Park 25 yo 1979/2004 (50%, Cadenhead, 214 bottles)
