Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 금빛이 잔 속에서 맑게 빛난다. 피트를 걷어낸 쿨일라 14년 언피티드는 광물성의 서양배 오드비와 옅은 연기, 바닐라 퍼지와 스펀지케이크의 향을 산뜻하게 열어 보인다. 59.3도의 힘이 입안에서 레몬과 자두, 오렌지에 라벤더 꿀과 검은 후추를 또렷하게 밀어 넣는다. 물을 더하면 둥글어지며 크랜베리와 사과주 같은 과실의 여운이 깔끔하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
once again, just like with the younger batches from the previous years, there is a little peat but much less than in the ‘Islay’ Caol Ilas. It’s rather a kind of mineral Williams pears eau de vie at first nosing, with some smoke and vanilla, then there’s rather notes of sponge cake, vanilla fudge and ‘light’ sultanas as well as more and more lemon (that feeling of good limoncello). With water: almost no peat left and, I must say, not a lot of sherry. Resembles a lightish/youngish Seysider of good quality
restaurant Palate
very big, very powerful, even a tad prickly (peppered lemon juice). Less peat this time, and more cakes. Lemon, plums, oranges, then lavender honey and quite some black pepper again. With water: sweet, rounded and very easy this time. Cranberry and gooseberry juices plus a little barley water and cider (Strongbow rather than artisanal cider)
timer Finish
medium long, clean, fruity, easy
