oh, now we’re on another planet. We do have these very fruity, but slightly austere notes (I got that in an old Cadenhead dumpy), like grapefruit again, citron, rubbed orange peel and then something very nicely mineral (austerity again!) Wet chalk, limestone, hints of moist plaster, gin… And then it gets quite farmy, with something peaty, hay, ‘clean’ horse dung – and also lots of herbs such as chive, fresh coriander, parsley. Hints of chocolate as well. Frankly, it’s a superb nose, beautifully balanced and with lots of presence. Very, very ‘serious’. An anti-made up malt?

it’s very coherent, but maybe it’s a little too austere now. Quite some tannins right from the start, green pepper, flour, bitter chocolate powder… A certain lack of sweetness, like in many very old malts. Don’t get me wrong, it’s easily bearable but you really have to love dryness. The malt gets then grassy and vegetal, rather bitter, peppery, with notes of ultra-strong liquorice and strong herb liqueur (it reminds me of Underberg, do you know that?) And then, good news we do have a little sweetness coming through (a little caramel, apple juice). But the whole remains quite drying, just like the medium long, but very ‘powdery’ finish. Very, very serious stuff indeed! The nose was absolutely great but maybe the palate is a bit tired… It still deserves 87 points , that is. Ah yes, music… Something rough, ‘ancient’ and ‘dry’ but still rather ‘easy’, like, yes, Steve Coleman’s ‘Transits’ (on ‘Myths, Modes And Means’) MUSIC – Recommended listening - Let's have a little African music, shall we? Today it's Kenya's superb singer Suzanna Owi yo who does Kisumu 100.mp3 . And it's excellently produced! Please support all African artists... March 20, 2006 TASTING - TWO ARDBEGS (again...) Ardbeg ‘Still Young’ (56.2%, OB, 2006) This one has been already vatted but not bottled. I didn’t like the ‘Very Young’ too much (79), I thought it was much too simple and rough but many aficionados loved it. So, let’s see how these first 1998 ‘Glenmo’ batches behave after one more year in their casks
