Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛 속에 오래된 아일라의 기운이 잠겨 있다. 쿨일라가 1974년 오크 캐스크에서 21년을 보내며 옅어진 피트 연기와 레몬, 바닷소금의 향이 섬세하게 피어오른다. 58.4도의 입맛은 묵직하게 입을 채우며 훈제 향과 미네랄, 흰 후추가 또렷이 드러난다. 여운은 짭조름한 재와 시트러스가 길게 타오르며 천천히 가라앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
bright straw
air Nose
yes! This is emblematic of what comes to mind when I think of Caol Ila 1974. Pure, fatty, petrolic power! A big, textural impression of raw, almost grubby peat smoke, oily sheep wool, creosoted fence posts, green peppercorns in brine, wet plaster and beach bonfire ashes. With water: very sharp, chiselled saltiness, pure lemon juice, seawater, gherkins and crushed sardines
restaurant Palate
fantastic, immensely peppery, peaty and tarry arrival that recalls Ardbeg of similar pedigree. Also squid ink, seawater, a waxy quality and lots of smoked olive oil, fresh oysters, tar and iodine. Becoming ashier, drier, brinier and with some big ‘salt and vinegar on chips’ vibes. With water: magnificent oiliness and fatness, terrific and assertive peat flavour, with big flavours of kelp, soy sauce, dried seaweed, iodine and many things such as capers, more gherkins and green olives in brine
timer Finish
very long, pristinely salty, drying, tarry and with a pure, brilliant, blade-like smokiness
