Trip to Scotland






So what about a new collaboration. Whisky!
Not a bad subject to research for 4 days in Late Feb.

At the moment l am researching at home the case strength 57% 12 year old single malt from a very small distillery called Glengoyne situated near Loch Lomond close to Glasgow, its great with a little bit of water or ice to release the flavour, also its stronger than normal.

Did you know single malt is better than double malt? most Whiskys are mixed from many distilleries. This Whisky is a crisp taste and isn't smokey or peaty .

These are there Tasting Notes

Appearance: Amber, syrupy. Sauternes.

Nose: Oak, sherry, digestive biscuits, sweet oatcakes, banana, apricot, peaches, marzipan and peardrops.

Does not prick the nose, despite high strength.

Mouthfeel: Viscous, rich and filling

Initial Taste: Smooth, sweet start, with some sherry and chocolate.

After Water: Becomes slightly waxy, with pepper at the tail.

Finish: Very long, stays with you until morning!

Very interesting and a great weekend for sure it was still with me in the morning.

Now we need to research glass wear..

Any ideas?
