Tasting Notes

Colour

amber. First nosing: very warming, with lots of toasted bread! A bit subdued right from the start, in fact, but it then develops on some heavy eucalyptus again, turpentine, burnt heather (when they burn it to let the grass grow to feed the starving sheep in the Highlands). It goes on with some apricot syrup, apple pie, squeezed orange, sweet white wine, sherry… Again a thrilling one, it appears. Some hints of smoke and rubber… It’s so complex and full-bodied!

restaurant Palate

compact, creamy and… fabulous. Lots of smoke, herbs, fruits, spices and essences of all sorts: the list would be too long, just like the finish. Just endless. Perhaps it just lacks a little elegance this time… Anyway, here’s my rating: 91 points . MUSIC – JAZZ - Recommended listening: Peruvian born pianist Felipe Riveros plays French Dance - mp3 , which I don't like only because of the name, I promise! This great tune has a French feeling indeed, and is on Felipe's CD 'Ten Easy Pieces', which you should definitely buy if you like jazz. And the sax, he's good! CRAZY WHISK(E)Y ADS - THE ONES WHO SERVE IT TALK ABOUT IT BEST! Four Roses 1938: In the heat of the night avant l'heure? The actual old-fashioned blaze of glory was to happen one year later anyway... (and no, they didn't have Adobe Photoshop at that time, it appears) PM 1953: ' A dividend in value! ' says the young guy, who's already obsessed by money. ' A dividend in taste! ' answers the old guy, who knows about true values... Ah, Santa Barbara! Walker's Deluxe 1955: ' Elegant in taste, uncommonly good'. Ah, old black buttlers, you couldn't beat them! Yet... Walker's Deluxe 1965: They fired the old black guy (who's been hired by Uncle Ben's then) and hired an old European-style buttler who says ' Nothing else quite measures up .' Noticed the 'quite'?
