As revealed last week, I created three F1 whisky expressions for the Force India driving team, including the only F1 Scot Paul Di Resta. But that got me wondering: what would others taste like? If you could bottle David Coulthard, Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Michael Schumacher or Ayrton Senna what would they taste like? It’s always fun to do celebrity whiskies so I spent a bit of time wondering…
And of course we couldn’t leave out Murray Walker or Lee McKenzie could we?
Good luck to the Force India lads today.
- David Coulthard. This is a good old fashioned Scottish blend full of guts but like David it has a distinct, intelligent charm about it. This whisky has a lot to say for itself, both on the nose and the palate, and is best drunk in the café de Paris, mixed with just a dash of an energy drink.? …. Surely not !
- Lewis Hamilton. His blend is young and cheeky and would require some good insurance to cover its hefty price tag. With a nod towards Lewis’ faux pas in Australia this whiskies flavours would run rings around the tongue in an ‘ exuberant’ manner before knuckling down and getting to the job in hand.
- Jenson Button. Quite simply his whisky is light and charming almost delicate to start with but make no mistake, it means business. Powerful, and full of body but with flirtatious top notes it’s guaranteed to be a firm favorite with the ladies.
- Michael Schumacher. This blend is full of aged grain whiskies as they too are set to make a big comeback in the whisky world. With notes of peat smoke and sea spray this whisky isn’t afraid of a flavour collision to make it a championship winning drink.
- Ayrton Senna. This whisky is unique. Made with a selection of only the finest award winning aged malts and calling for every ounce of the blender’s skill, it is perfection in a glass. No mixer or water required, it should be drunk only with respect.
- Murray Walker. Probably the most quoted whisky of all. Fondly remembered by millions this blend is a frenzy of flavour, bursting with exuberance but always well balanced.
- Lee Mackenzie. Cool under pressure and easy on the eye like the BBC pundit herself. The Mackenzie clan has strong historical associations with the finest of all Malt whiskies, the Dalmore, so it’s fitting that her blend contains more than a drop of this amber heaven. Her whisky is bold on the nose and easy on the palate but the quality within ensures it will always hold its own amongst the heavier whiskies, jostling for that all important exclusive (and Lee’s now a bit of a whisky expert after what I taught her).
