Tasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
much simpler and more restrained than both the Garnheath and the Invergordon. Cheap rum, raisins, vanilla, brunt cake, coffee. Lots of caramel, black toffee. Rather nice, that is. Hints of parsley, hay, and even dill blush wine (yes, true!) Ashes, dust, old wine, wood… Getting dirtier and dirtier. Schweppes, vodka, gin… Yes, it somewhat smells like gin-tonic. You guessed it; I don’t like this nose too much… It gets really farmy after a while (horse stable, wet hay)
restaurant Palate
rather weak and somewhat dirty attack, on rum again, plus some hints of sherry. Coffee, burnt caramel, toasted bread. Gets quite dry and a little bitter, and a little meaty (dried beef). Again it’s interesting, but not as thrilling as the two other ones. The finish is medium long, on rum (Stroh). 82 points (unchanged). Now, I know what you think: I should have tasted this North British first – and you are pretty right. MUSIC - Another interesting young American indie singer and composer, Christene Ledoux . Listen to The Entertainer (mp3), a nice song that's got nothing to do with Scott Joplin's famous ragtime. There's also ' Dear Mr President ', which is great although more... hem... political. In the fine old tradition of the greatest American protest singers? MODERN WORLD - I've just learnt that UK-based Internet provider Telewest Broadband is testing a system to let people send aromatic e-mails over the internet, through a 'scent dome'. That dome works with a cartridge containing 20 basic aromas, which can be combined to produce up to 60 different smells. A 'scented e-mail' - but I guess that should work on the web as well - will contain electronic signals that will tell the dome which smell it must realease. And now I'm dreaming of some 'illustrated tasting notes'... I'll write Telewest Broadband asap and ask them whether they couldn't make a special version with peat, smoke, sherry, mango, turpentine or caramel. Would be great, don't you think? Oh, last but not least, the plug-in device for the PC should cost around £250. Well... (via the BBC) TASTING - I just got a report on a very interesting vertical tasting session of six SMWS Caol Ilas by Pär Calendby. Just click here to read Pär 's report.
