Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

more power, more oomph, but it doesn’t start less interestingly. This time it’s rather on full honey mode, with lots of acacia and heather, but no mineral, animal or smoky notes anymore. But we do have flowers instead (all sorts, including roses) and loads of fruits: apricots, very ripe apples, very ripe peaches, very ripe plums, the whole being… err… very ripe. We have also a dash of allspice… Okay, maybe it’s a little simpler than its older brothers but it’s by no means less enjoyable

restaurant Palate

a punchy, sweet, fruity, spicy and very compact attack that, again, lacks just a little complexity. Lots of apple pie and white pepper, mirabelle jam, dried ginger and ‘simple’ honey… And a long, sweet, bold and satisfying finish, with just, again, a little extra bitterness to make the whole even more balanced – and also a sprinkling of salt. A malt that will neither make you scratch your head, nor disappoint you. 86 points . PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK MUSIC – Recommended listening - Right, we had Eric Sardinas yesterday, so let’s have Johnny Winter himself today, playing Be careful with a fool.mp3 . Don’t we all love logorrheic guitars? Anyway, please buy Johnny Winter’s music! March 29, 2006 TASTING - TWO OFFICIAL 21 yo GLENLIVETS Glenlivet 21 yo ‘Archive’ (43%, OB, 2005 or 2006)
