whisky in burgundy

there are whiskies and there are whiskies, the taste of which varies with the beholder.
been trying to get to tasting a few new ones around town but time and work have got in the way of the dram.
no worries. the frisky whisky fridays are set to continue in the next few weeks.
the last one that we had in a quiet corner of damansara heights saw me bringing out the glenmorangie burgundy wood finish, one of the bright sparks from the scottish highlands, that unfortunately has just been discontinued in the summer of 2007.
am afraid only a few bottles will be available around the world but if you do get one, it has a toasty and not quiet peatish nose. nice and redolent of wine as it has been casked in the cote d'or burgundy casks after initial casking in american oak.
the soft and sweet palate comes masks the 43 percent alcohol by volume single malt leading to a nice slightly dry and toast and oak finish.
it is a great 12-year-old single malt and the one-litre bottle drained rather quickly as the night went on, just like the madeira and cellar 13 did earlier this year.
