Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
magnificent golden amber
air Nose
a whole basket of tropical fruit at first, certainly the 'old bottle' effect. Then some notes of toasted bread, and yes, some fantastic hints of peat. Incredible how youthful this 'old' malt is! Then it develops on old books, dust, with whiffs of white pepper. Triple wow from the three of us!
restaurant Palate
a little weak at first, but passion fruit, mango and guava are soon to appear. Incredibly fresh! Not much wood, which might indicate that it was quite a young malt when it was bottled. Some spicy notes as well (nutmeg), not to mention some elegant hints of espresso coffee and yes, some peat. Slightly tired of course, but nothing to be ashamed of. Medium finish on white pepper and some notes of old rum. Yes, this wonderful malt stays the course! And here are our ratings: Davin 99 points, Olivier 99 points, Serge 98 points. Okay, we might well have been a little too emotional here... But hey, a pre-war Islayer! Stay tuned for some other stories and tasting notes, because we had more than 150 different single malts within the week. Don't worry, only short drams... (yeah, yeah...) May 29 to June 6, 2004 GONE TO ISLAY - SO NO UPDATES, I'M AFRAID. BUT... ... I've uploaded a bunch of ads and some musical tips. The ads I already posted have pulled huge success amongst whiskyfun's readers, so I'll post even more later on. For the moment, he are a few interesting ones, to keep you entertained while I'm doing some clay pidgeon shooting on Islay (yes, a metaphor)... Cutty Sark: improving variations on seamanship... From left to right: 1956, 1969, 1972... staying focused... From left to right: 1975, 1977, 1982 (Ted Turner)... some changes... 2002 campaign: focusing on the sailors, finally! Improvement or regression? You decide... Cointreau and Ardbeg: playing with legs... Left: Cointreau 1982 - right: Ardbeg 2003. To show or to suggest, that is the question... White Horse and Glenfiddich: the art of wedging some animals... White Horse 1972 campaign. The one in the middle is quite funny as it has a Glenfiddich feeling. Speaking of which... ... here's the Glenfiddich 2003/2004 campaign. Various brands: when advertisers have no idea, they always show girls, said my teacher... ... he was right, but you can do it more or less cleverly. From left to right: early 20th century Kentucky
