Doctors surgeries and Flower shops

Went round to a friends for a whisky tasting session for his birthday, following an afternoon of drinking coffee and watching England eat some humble pie.

Some of the tasting notes they provide are pretty amazing:

The aromatic nose displayed geranium, bog myrtle, aromatherapy oil, soy sauce, lavender and clove - but also bacon, lobster bisque, smoked chicken, seaweed, honey, doctors' surgeries and flower shops. The neat palate was huge, mouth-filling and long-lasting, with a heavenly flavour combination of scorched heather sprigs dipped in honey, caramelized onions, charcoal, chutney and smoked fish. The reduced nose was hijacked by caraway seeds - gripe water, Kummel, salami with caraway, rye bread and stir-fried Chinese greens with soy sauce. The palate became sweeter - sugar-coated pistachios and sweet barbecued ribs with echoes of salted sea biscuits, lavender and tar.

I'm still not convinced I even like the stuff.
