Tasting the Intrepid with Charles MacLean M.B.E, Master of the Quaich

Love the way at 2:03 he says in the tasting "Pears" and then immediately qualifies that with "Tinned Pears" which, as far as this whisky is concerned wonderfully upgrades cheap tinned syrupy fruit above fresh fruit. Clearly, it's a huge "Hooray" for tinned pears. Which reminds me ~ I have a quantity of tinned peaches well past their sell-by-date bought at the start of Covid by way of stocking up during a run on supermarket shortages. I wonder if in the tasting of my old peaches whether there'll be poetry to be spoken as Charles has beautifully eulogised, sadly bespeckled it has to be said rather than eccentrically monocled, in his KZbin ad for Lyon & Turnbull ~ even so, so eloquently performed upon his tasting of this new very intriguing ‘The Intrepid World Record Whisky’ soon up for auction at Lyon & Turnbull. Thirty-two years in the barrel you say? That's amazing. My peaches have only been in the tin for about two or so years ~ nevertheless, deserving reverence, perhaps, of opening and a tasting for their 'ageing in the tin' don't they? After all, Charles may qualify his whisky tasting in future of the vintage and taste of 'tinned pears' or any tinned fruit be it past the tinned fruit's sell-by-date which of tinned fruit sell-by-dates might have a bearing on the enduring subtlety for descriptive tasting of whisky ~ will it not? And, again what "tinned pears" did the intrepid world renowned whisky tasting taster Charles MacLean have in mind ~ tinned fruit of Fortnum's, M&S, or the Germanic Aldi and Lidl's where I'm inclined to find my preferred shopping tastes? 🙂
