cold

I think I figured out why it's so cool here. It's because I opened my living room window.

Scotch Whisky reviews

Ardbeg 25 yr.

Nose
Sea air and smokiness. evocative sootiness.
Palate
Silky. The touch of fruitiness, usually reminiscent of lemons, is sweeter, with a momentary suggestion of cherries. The flavours become almondy and walnut-like, then rooty and peppery.
Finish
Long, haughty.
Comment
Lots of flavour development, complexity and refinement. Very elegant, but where is the clamour of battle?
~ Michael Jackson

Nose
Gentle and complex: orange/marmalade, sponge cake with pink icing, calfskin leather, angelica and smoke.
Palate
Soft and fragrant, light leathery notes then a smoky bonfire.
Finish
Light medicinal (Savlon/Germolene) then smoke.
Comment
Mellower than you’d expect but beautifully balanced.
~ Dave Broom


Then there was this bit from a review of a Japanese Whisky:

Massive peat surge
countered by an oaky dryness
But soon the peat returns.
