Jon Mark and Robbos The Rich Spicy One 50cl Bottle 50cl / 40% ABV / Distillery Bottling Category: Scotch Compare Prices: Jon Mark and Robbos
Description: Jon, Mark and Robbo are mates (two of them brothers), who passionately believe that decent quality whisky should be enjoyed and not worshipped. It all started with Jon and Mark heading out for a post-Christmas walk in 2002. As they wandered up Glen Bruar and the nearby Munro, they started chatting. The chat got more and more animated as the conversation turned to whisky. Both of them loved whisky, but hated all the waffle and reverence that always seemed to get in the way of enjoying a glass. They decided their world needed whiskies that removed all the waffle, tasted amazing and was for them, not some 80 Year Old Laird. There are three choices available for their range. The Smokey Peaty One, The Rich Spicy One and The Smooth Sweeter One. The Rich Spicy One... Mark set Robbo quite a challenge on this one. Create a whisky that tastes like two of his existing favourites. It took several versions, but No.8 finally cracked it, giving a bold, intense flavour, packed full of Rich Spiciness. Robbos Taste Teller What the experts say... Michael Jackson in Whisky Magazine Nose: Nutty. Sherryish, clean. Attractive. Palate: Syrupy. Full of flavour. Good oak extract, sherry, malt, fruit. Finish: Ginger. Bitter chocolate. Comment: The best of the three. Score: 8/10 Martin Isark Scotland on Sunday 2003 Make Mine a Rich Spicy One this whisky competes with and beats most 10 yos in this flavour spectrum May 2004, Wine International Magazine Dave Broom, Spirits Writer. Colour/nose: Rich gold in colour. An unctuous nose with plenty of fruit cake, hot buttered muffins and masses of rich nuts and dried citrus peels. Palate: Rounded and chewy with a sweet, rich centre. Well-balanced oak and a hint of tarte tatin, dried fruits and toffee. Conclusion: A serious but approachable dram. My favourite of the three. Score: 90 points.
