all on lemon, white pepper and peat smoke, with hints of tealeaves and moderate farminess (wet hay, farmyard after the rain – pfff). And apple skin. Rather sharp but beautifully clean. Whiffs of wet stones. With water: gets chalkier, more maritime and more vegetal as well typical fresh apple juice, big bold smoke. Pleasantly sharp and close to ‘the distillery’. Flawless more porridgy, less ‘clean and sharp’ and less smoky. Average. Slightly flowery (geranium) even less smoky and unexpectedly bubblegummy. A funny one a little more restrained, quite mashy and yeasty but the smokiness gets bigger with time. Slight dustiness but the whole is very pleasant quite different from all the previous ones. Less smoke and peat, the spirit’s cleanliness really lets the wine stand out. Cabbage, liquorice, smoked tea. Different but nice almost closed, except a few grassy notes (okay, and whiffs of peat smoke). Water needed I guess. When watered down, it gains even more purity as well as very pleasant notes of smoked tea and pu-erh as well. Whiffs of cow stable. It seems that Caol Ila got peatier in recent years, or am I mistaken? powerful, clean, fruity, slightly spirity and very maritime (kelp, sea breeze). Ashes. Hints of marshmallows. Extremely clean spirit, even if faintly lactic. With water: huge soapiness, let’s wait… Okay, it got more classically peaty and a little farmy, as well as lightly yeasty fresh, a little milky, pleasantly sour (yoghurt) and very clean. Smoky but not too much, with also quite some apple juice, lemon and kiwi poorer, kind of dirty and cardboardy. Buttery. Apple skin wine and spirit are nicely integrated but it’s till a bit too winey for me. Butter, caramel, ‘new wine’. A bit too round for Caol Ila discreet at first, gets sharper and quite austere after that. Rather pure clean smoke and hints of tar and shoe polish very austere, grassy… Faint coastal notes (sea breeze). With water: more olives but more cardboard, wet paper more complex. Wet stones, pea

big notes of lapsang souchong tea, hints of wasabi, quite some salt, lemon marmalade. Bold mouth feel, almost sort of fat – pleasantly so. With water: even more peat, hints of kippers and salted liquorice. Very smoky finish (dry smokiness). Excellent Islayer, exactly what you expect from this kind of ‘label’. 88 points. PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK in Saint-Tropez MUSIC – Heavily recommended listening: oh yeah, Carolyn Wonderland and her Bloodless revolution.mp3 ! Heavy metal blues? Maybe... But please buy Carolyn Wonderland's music. August 28, 2007 HISTORY: AMAZING! – We could put our hands on this very rare colour photograph of Bruichladdich's secret underwater warehouses, circa 1939. It is said that it was bombed by an U-boat right at the beginning of WWII, and that only the fish didn’t complain at the time. It’s the very first time that a picture of these legendary facilities resurfaces so to speak and we are very proud to have been able to buy it at Sotheby’s recent “Wartime Scotland, Part II” sale that took place in London on August 18th (£8,550, not too cheap, though.) More seriously, it’s very funny artwork by Swiss surrealist-dadaist gang Plonk and Replonk that we just saw at an exhibition in Grignan, Provence, and the caption actually reads ‘National Labour Museum Cellars – Stocks of Sweat of Brow, kept since fifteen generations’. Check their website, it’s hilarious! MALT MANIACS NEWSFLASH brought to you by Robert (Sweden) How about buying some seemingly authentic liquid history? This family heirloom Bowmore from 1850 just got on sale at McTears (valued to no less than £15.000-20.000!). Probably a perfect after-dinner dram. TASTING – CAOL ILA EXTRAVAGANZA, part 1/2 (fifteen youngsters) I love Caol Ila, I really do, but I’ve got a lot of them in my sample library and I’ve really fallen behind with my tastings so I decided to kill quite a few in a row. I’ll not write extensive tasting notes (who said good news?) nor add pictures of all this time, rather jus
