what caramel tastes like in a whiskey, but having tried
this, I was guessing that there was some in this.
Caramel colour is ok in blends, it flattens out those
'wild' grain notes but in a malt it's a shame. I just love
Cooley malt and it's just that that i want in my glass.
Interesting to note that the light and fruity Cooley doesn't
take to added colour, as i always suspected it wouldn't.
Redbreast 15. A great nose, i could nose this all
day long. Thanks again John. There is an exotic fruit on the
palate, passionfruit, or is it guava?
Old Comber 7 pps. Wow, different. A confusing nose
consisting of unripe fruits such as apple and banana bound
together with a sweet vanilla. A 'weak bourbon' nose. Turpentine
and menthol on the palate, soft though, mixed with other soft
volatiles. A full bottle would be required to suss this one out
properly. An experience.
