Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1977년에 증류되어 21년을 보낸 카올 일라답게 옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 맑게 빛난다. 향은 그을린 피트 연기와 짭조름한 소금기, 옅은 레몬이 거침없이 피어오른다. 61.3도의 강렬한 도수는 입안에서 재와 후추, 보리 단맛을 날카롭게 드러낸다. 레어 몰트 시리즈다운 야성적인 훈연이 높은 도수와 맞물려 팽팽하고, 여운은 재와 바다 내음이 오래도록 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
a little silent when compared with its sibling, probably because of the very high strength (63% at 26 years of age, not bad!) Apple peelings and fresh walnuts, linseed oil, iodine. Austere and sharp. With water: the same kind of development as in the DT, only even bigger. Extremely organic. Then seafood (fresh oysters, scallops), leather, ginger… And a little vanilla/ginger that reminds us of the Exclusive Cask. Grassy smokiness (garden bonfire under the rain.) Gets the more mineral. Flintstones
restaurant Palate
very, very strong but one can feel that it is great whisky- huh! With water: very vegetal and grassy, also with a bigger smokiness than in its bros and sistas. Apple peelings, green tea, liquorice, smoked trout (rather than sea fish), even smoked ham…
timer Finish
long, clean, liquoricy and salty
