Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
let’s say light apricot
air Nose
this is remarkably gentle, with pink peppercorns and assorted small red berries, all rather well-balanced, though at the cost of Caol Ila’s usual feral edge, already somewhat tamed in general, now rather dialled down. Some chalk, ashes, and oysters in raspberry jam—an experiment one ought to attempt someday, perhaps. With water: bruised strawberries on the ground, plus a few fresh rubbery notes
restaurant Palate
smoked and salted red fruits, say redcurrant jelly licked off burnt driftwood. The pink pepper returns, now with pink grapefruit thrown in, of the fleshy, bittersweet kind. With water: green pepper, pink pepper, and briny water
timer Finish
fairly long, though without any further evolution
