Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
oh, this is extremely lemony – it’s almost like lemon-flavoured vodka. Okay, not quite but it’s amazing how this one resembles, say lemon pie on the nose. Maybe a little mono-dimensional I’d say but that’s precisely what’s quite striking in this one. In the background: a little grass, a little pepper, a little porridge and a little vanilla
restaurant Palate
this is pure lemon juice, with just a little candy sugar (and of course quite some alcohol). I like lemon a lot!
timer Finish
very long, very lemony of course, with a little pepper. This is highly recommended to all lemon freaks – again, I’m among them, hence my 87 points . Someone might have burned lemon essential oils instead of peat in a malting plant somewhere in Scotland… (hey, I’m kidding!) PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK (thanks to Woody) MUSIC – Recommended listening: let's go a little more adventurous today with No Wave diva Lydia Lunch and her Carnival of fat man.mp3 . She said once, 'I would be humiliated if I found out that anything I did actually became a commercial success', so maybe you should not buy her music ;-). May 20, 2007 CONCERT REVIEW by Nick Morgan THE WATERBOYS The Royal Albert Hall, London, May 11th 2007 Well who would have thought it? Less than twenty-four hours later and we’re back in the Royal Albert Hall, opened you’ll recall, in 1871, having been built at a cost of £200,000 – somewhat less than the current value of a two bedroom flat in London. Like all grand public building projects it was dogged by controversy and disagreement. Not everyone welcomed the thought of such a massive arena – three times Prime Minister Lord Derby was concerned in 1865 that it would end up as 'a mere place of public amusements, of which monster concerts would be the least objectionable'. We’re certainly here for some public amusement this evening with Whiskyfun favourites Mike Scott and his Waterboys (rather, one of my favourites, perhaps not Serge’s). The lottery of on-line booking has been kind; we’re down on the floor of the auditorium, row 18, almost stage centre. Perfect. Well almost. We’re surrounded by people who all seem to know each other. There are smiles and handshakes, and souvenir photographs being taken for websites. These are the hardcore fans of the numerous Waterboys message boards and forums. Actually they’re a jolly bunch, and it’s inevitable that we spend more of the evening on our feet than on our sit-upon. The dancing loons immediately in front depart stagewar
