The inspiration for this Scotch whisky hot chilli sauce At Burn’s Night it is traditional to pour a dash of whisky on your haggis, this is often referred to as the whisky sauce. Well, I thought about this and decided to come up with my own whisky hot sauce that is like a Scottish ...
Nose: chocolate sauce and kerosene. I mean, this is funny for sure, but it is t.o.o. s.t.r.o.n.g. With water: sour walnut wine, ginger wine, brine… Mouth (neat): yeah right. Very good, very spicy, burning. Reminds of that time when a good friend who used to be a ...
Nose: if this is not Laphroaig, I eat my Basque beret with mustard-and-strawberry sauce. Apples, iodine, creosote and ozone, oysters, mercurochrome, a touch of turpentine this time, smoked kippers, lemons, beach sand… No doubts at all. With water: emblematic raw wools and chalk. Buying...
Comments: this baby had a bit of trouble after the splendid 22yo OB but anyway, it’s excellent old Highland Park for sure. SGP:562 - 87 points. MUSIC - Recommended listening: what could be more approoriate than a good slice of funk soul by The Haggis Horns (yes babe!) It's ...
sauce, it’s even a tad Meursaulty at times. I’m very fond of this nose. Mouth: all very good, a tad rustic as some Ardbegs could be, with notes of ouzo, then oysters, lemon, ashes, and a greener kind of liquorice. Some green walnuts too, fino, vin jaune, soft mustard… But...

A wee whisky that'll always want to have the last say. Finish: very long, rather on armagnac, plus chocolate, plus coffee, plus soy sauce, plus balsamic vinegar, plus walnut wine. A little tiring, perhaps? I'm joking. Comments: great but a little monstrous and undisciplined. Come on!
Some fruit wood, salty fruit sauce (something Chinese), tar and chlorophyll, deep-fried bacon, black raisins, glutamate, soy sauce… Unlikely, but works. With water: the wood comes out, but we remain below the limits, although I wouldn’t say the word ‘limits’ is very appropriate here...
one may be an angel, we'll see. The bottle is really funny, is it not; who did that last time? Glenmo, no? Colour: gold. Nose: rather some wood and coal smoke. I'm thinking pinewood, eucalyptus smoke, also bell pepper and then more raisins, PX, and a little Worcester sauce. ...
