Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
카올 일라 18년 언피티드는 이름처럼 노즈에 피트가 거의 없고, 대신 복숭아와 커스터드 타르트, 스펀지 케이크가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 피트 없이도 감도는 바다 공기가 흥미롭게 발전한다. 59.8도의 팰럿은 크리미한 질감에 풍선껌과 화이트 초콜릿, 절인 살구, 화이트 페퍼가 맞물린다. 피니시는 과일감이 지배하며 통조림 리치로 또렷하게 이어져, 아일라의 또 다른 얼굴을 보여준다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
I’m finding less peat than in earlier bottlings of Caol Ila Unpeated, as if time had erased the remaining smokiness. What I’m rather finding here is some kind of peach and custard tarte, sponge cake, Danish pastries, and quite a lot of sea air, which is a little surprising since there’s no peat and since Caol Ila does not mature on location. We’re rather reminded of Arran here, and perhaps of new Bruichladdich. With water: more preserved fruits
restaurant Palate
creamy and Haribo-y. Bubblegum, custard, white chocolate, preserved apricots, and quite a lot of white pepper from the oak. A drop of gewürztraminer. With water: gets almost muscaty, very fruity for sure, and I’m even finding my beloved mirabelles. Now the body’s rather light, perhaps even a tad more ‘Lowlands’ than ‘Highlands’. The big stills?
timer Finish
medium, very fruity, almost bonbony. Tinned litchis
