Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 채운 빛은 옅은 볏짚색에 가깝게 맑다. 1984년 빈티지의 카올 일라 21년은 아일라 특유의 절제된 피트를 보여준다. 갓 피운 모닥불 연기와 레몬 껍질, 바닷바람의 짠맛이 코를 먼저 두드리고, 입에 넣으면 올리브 오일 같은 질감 위로 훈제 생선과 후추, 풋사과의 산미가 또렷하게 번진다. 59.2도의 높은 도수가 매캐한 재와 미네랄을 한층 날카롭게 세우며, 끝맛에는 식은 잿내와 소금기가 길고 건조하게 가라앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
we’re already in front of something more spirity and maybe a tad more medicinal than the average Caol Ila, with whiffs of antiseptic and tincture of iodine. Those medicinal notes grow bigger and bigger actually, let’s see what happens with the addition of a little water. With water: not much changes, it just gets a tad more mineral and nutty, but the medicinal side remains
restaurant Palate
punchy, very good, clean, peaty and very medicinal once again. Gentian eau-de-vie. Very faint notes of strawberry bubblegum and quite some salt. With water: no more bubblegum, rather more salt, walnuts and indeed, clams (or queen scallops, as you like)
timer Finish
rather long, with its medicinal side still there. Bitter almonds
