Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
again very similar, a little more spirity this time and a tad more almondy but it’s again a tad less expressive than both the JWWW and the Acorn. With water: Closer to the Prenzlow, i.e. farmier but with maybe more ‘minerality’ now (wet stones)
restaurant Palate
same malt would I say. Almost. With water: yeah, almost. This one is maybe just a tad rougher and also saltier. 86 points. All these three Caol Ilas were perfectly distilled, no doubt and I can’t wait to taste these batches when they’re 20 or 30 years old. An interesting case where the distillery seems to be much more important than the wood and the warehouses… MUSIC – Recommended listening - More French music, I mean French music that sounds really French (after Air, Daft Punk, Stereolab, Katerine et. all.) - it's Louis Philippe doing L'hiver te va bien.mp3 in 1995 (produced by Bertrand Burgalat). Please buy these guys' music!
