Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 카올 일라 특유의 축축한 흙과 버섯, 해조와 옅은 민트 향이 촘촘하게 드러난다. 1984년 증류해 13년을 채운 이 프라이빗 보틀링은 56도에서 약재 같은 뉘앙스와 훈연을 깊게 발전시킨다. 팰럿에서는 진하게 우린 녹차와 감초, 생강 토닉이 힘 있게 이어진다. 피니시는 약재와 훈연이 길게 남아, 클래식 아일라 몰트의 흙내 나는 복합적 구조감이 두드러진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
exactly the DT, minus the sweetness. More earthy tones, damp earth, mushrooms, seaweed, a little mint… This one’s maybe a little more medicinal than other Caol Ilas, and certainly very fresh at 25 or 26 years of age. With water: much more width and much more depth than in the sister cask. Old herbal liqueurs, humus, cough medicine, then a little butterscotch… Pack of lozenges… Even hints of tropical fruits (passion)… Very nice complexity
restaurant Palate
bigger than the DT and much, much earthier. Quite some cinchona, ginger tonic, green tea, strong liquorice… It’s also much more medicinal and bitter. Heavily infused green tea. Quite a beast! With water: it became as meek as a lamb (almost), rounder, smoother, with the liquorice remaining in the background, together with wee touches of cumin. Really great now, very full, very satisfying
timer Finish
long, on the same flavours, maybe a tad more medicinal again
