Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

easy smoky and mineral Caol Ila, the rum being very discreet here. Quite some peat and iodine as well as whiffs of sparkling water/ginger tonic. Slight mouldiness, hints of wet chalk, then fresh mint and also lemon fizz. Lemon balm. Probably not totally grandiose but the fairly huge minerality is pleasant

restaurant Palate

round, sweet at first, then ‘smoothly’ peaty yet spicy and peppery, with a good peatiness and some very, very discreet rummy notes (not molasses). Good saltiness as well and some faint notes of violets-flavoured liquorice (Zan, if that rings a bell). Not violet perfume! Very satisfying version of a young Caol Ila

timer Finish

not the longest but clean, with a little mint this time. Would make for some nice toothpaste ;-)
