Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 오래된 연고와 오일, 밀랍이 하나로 녹아든 복합적인 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 1981년 증류한 카올 일라답게 개별 향을 나누기 어려울 만큼 성숙한 뉘앙스가 진하다. 팰럿은 40도의 부드러운 질감 속에 훈제하고 소금 간을 한 버터 캐러멜의 풍미가 또렷하게 발전한다. 낮은 도수가 무색할 만큼 폭발적이고 섬세한 개성이 놀랍다. 여운은 다소 짧지만 베르가못과 훈제 생선, 재의 잔향이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
everything has merged, unified in a dense tapestry of ointments, oils, waxes, and old herbal liqueurs. Irresistibly charming. You reach a point where it becomes impossible to separate the aromas, so tertiary, so intrinsic to the spirit in the glass, that analysis gives way to experience. And perhaps that’s exactly how it should be
restaurant Palate
it brings to mind the Brora 1972s from G&M, slightly worrying at first due to the low ABV, then astonishingly complex and explosive once tasted. Let’s just say it’s the best smoked and salted butter caramel on earth, with a fragility that paradoxically becomes a strength
timer Finish
inevitably a little short but now comes the parade of missed notes, bergamot and kumquat, smoked fish, incense and ashes
