Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
a very sherried start, with lots of chocolate and Smyrna raisins. Quite some sulphur too. Goes on with some meaty notes (steak, gravy). It’s a bit simple in fact, with a big, bold sherry but it’s still flawless
restaurant Palate
ah, even nicer! It’s not often that the palate is better than the nose with these sherry monsters. The sherry doesn’t dominate the spirit at all, in fact, and the whole is nicely balanced. Granted, there’s a lot of chocolate and praline, but it keeps elegant. Gets very dry after a moment, though, and the finish is long, quite drying (but not too much) and rummy at the same time. I like it very much, I must say. 87 points . CRAZY WHISKY NEWS: THE EGYPTIANS MAY HAVE INVENTED IT! - According to Professor Willibald Schmitz-Jones (Archaeologist - University of Edinburgh ) who's currently in charge of the 'spirits' section of the Ramsseum excavations, some newly found hieroglyphs, dating back from circa 1,750 BC may well prove that the ancient Egyptians knew how to make whisky perfectly well. Prof. Schmitz-Jones just sent us this beautiful photograph of the most spectacular piece, called 'Charlimaclinis' Stone' ( Charlimaclinis was a famous Theban amanuensis). We're very proud to be able to publish this Whiskyfun world exclusivity today, and to give back to Caesar what belongs to... err, Ramses (well, you see what I mean.) MUSIC – Recommended listening: Ethno-techno? Hmmm... Well, as far as Ryukyu Undergroound is concerned, I quite like it. Try for instance Shinkaichi.mp3 ... and then buy it. November 22, 2005 TASTING - FOUR NEW WINESKIES BY ARRAN AND EDRADOUR Arran ‘Chateau Margaux Finish’ (59.1%, OB, 317 bottles, b. 2005) I must say the ‘race’ between Arran, Edradour, Glenmorangie and now Bruichladdich regarding ‘who’s gonna get the rarest wine casks’ is very funny. We’ll soon have all the Bordeaux 1855 Grand Crus in these ranges – and I can’t wait to read ‘Johannisberger Trockenbeerenauslese’ on a whisky label (and hear a Scot pronouncing it ;-)) Anyway, let’s taste this new wonder now
