Fahrenheit 173 - Whisky
"The king o' drinks, as I conceive it, Talisker, Isla or Glenlivit" (R.L. Stevenson)
Convalmore (CC) 1969 | |||

Convalmore (CC) 40% Lovely sherried nose with notes of dried fruits, marzipan, honey, oak and coconut. The palate is mild, sweet and subtle with heather honey, mint and a note of gingerbread. Oaky, peppery finish with a note of gingerbread. Fairly dry. Ends with a note of cardboard. A little disappointing. Verdict: The nose shows signs of greatness but the palate and finish don't quite deliver on the promise. Score: 90 p This is an example of what a "Connoiseur's Choice" bottle looks like. |
