Tasting Notes

Colour

pale straw. Nose, rather restrained at first nosing, but some interesting farmy notes emerge after a few swirls. Ah, it gets more and more complex. Very medicinal (bandages, camphor, turpentine) and grassy (wet hay, grass juice). Develops on animal smells (wet dog, horse stable) and dried seaweed (varech). Gets very Taliskerish after a few minutes

restaurant Palate

wow, what a nice attack! Dried fruits right at the start, but lots of smoke, rubber and pepper bursting out after just two or three seconds. Wow, it’s bold and compact, too bad there are a few sweetish notes… the sherry? It’s nice, but I feel this cask would have deserved to be bottled ‘naked’. Bold development, on liquorice, marzipan, dried ginger… Very, very nice indeed! The finish is very long, nicely balanced, with a strange ‘sweet-and-salty’ feeling. A excellent bottling! 88 points . Caol Ila 'Cask Strength' (55%, OB, 2004) I had this one several times, and I think I must have downed two or three bottles
