Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very n ice peat smoke and green tea. Beautifully balanced if not complex. Some nice white fruits (gooseberries, green pears) and grain. A very nice nose, very clean and pure
restaurant Palate
a simple, clean and straightforward Caol Ila. Peat, smoke and tea again, with some apple pie and grass… Notes of liquorice roots. Simple, perhaps a bit smokier than usually, and very enjoyable. 85 points . MUSIC – JAZZ - Highly recommended listening: Helen Merrill sings I'm a fool to want you.mp3 . No comments, except that you should buy Helen Merrill's music. FIRST GLANN AR MOR SPIRIT: 3 EASY STEPS (we have the pictures!) Step #1 : Fermentation (view of the Glann ar Mor washback) Step #2 : Distilling the wash, by pouring it into the... err, wash still! <<< Step #3 : oh no, Jean, no!!! That isn't the way you should do it! The gospel is: the low wines go into the spirit still and the distiller stays outside - and not reversely. Yes, even if you're looking for a 'meaty' whisky!!! All joking apart, Jean Donnay is doing all that very seriously - state of the art - and I really can't wait to taste Glann ar Mor's new make. That's why I'll go to 'By the Seashore' ('Glann ar Mor' in Breton) within a couple of weeks and, of course, let you know what I think. Kenavo!
