- TheEngineer - 03-23-2009 I had all smiles when I read this note from Jim Murray in the Whisky Bible (2007). "Tasting note: Nose: Youthful, with myriad citrus notes trying to outdazzle the gathering peat; shows great subtlety and fun; Taste: Refreshing, with the barley insisting on behaving half the age it actually is. The smoke appears lethargic but grows into a spicy crescendo; Finish: Lots of vanilla amid the dusty malt; lots of coffe fudge to balance the smoke; Balance; the best bottling yet with complexity a byword here." I can just imagine the Irish accent in those words!!! - hotwine - 03-23-2009 Seems more appropriate to a scotch tasting than an Irish whiskey. Being dearly fond of both elixirs.... - Kcwhippet - 03-24-2009 That Connemara 12 is really tasty. It's amazing that so much really good Irish whiskey is coming out of only three distilleries. - TheEngineer - 03-24-2009 KC, you are incredible! you have the book? Or did you author the original quote...AHH YOU MUST BE JIM MURRAY! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] - Kcwhippet - 03-24-2009 Same note in the 06 issue. |
