So much work, so few time. The second single malt tasting at Kottkamp has already been on March 28th. But I needed until today to write some notes about it. *sigh* Once again it has been great fun to meet friends, talk, and taste good whiskys. Since you need an entrance card the audience changed a bit. The limited cards - the store is simply too small - are sold out very fast. So you've got to reserve your card early.
Sadly I forgot my little form for my tasting notes. So I'll try to remember how the malts have been. I hope I'll be better organized next time. *smile*.
The first one has been the best one, once again a Glenrothes 33y Signatory, sherry butt, cask strength. A rich complex nose with orange and honey, the palate is warm and fruity with some vanilla, and the finish is warm, creamy and long lasting. A great malt, but sadly also expensive. The second one has also been very good, but not as good as the Glenrothes. It has been a Clynelish 1973 33y Signatory with 54%. There nose contains notes of peat, nuts, and citrus fruits, the palate contains honey, fruits, salt, and smoke, and the finish is very long with some salt. The third one has been a Highland Park 1985 21y, always a good choice, followed by a Laphroiag 10y. The last one this evening has been a good Speyside again, a Banff 1975 29y. But I haven't been able to pay the right attention to it, after the Islays before. *smile*.
End of April we'll have the last spring tasting. You'll read about it.
