Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 세월이 스민 황금빛이 잔 벽을 타고 진하게 흘러내린다. 아일라의 카올 일라가 1974년에 채운 원액은 21년의 숙성과 58도의 묵직한 힘을 품었다. 코끝에는 바닷가의 짭조름함 위로 장작 연기와 레몬 껍질이 또렷이 솟는다. 한 모금 머금으면 기름진 질감 사이로 훈제 생선과 후추, 재의 쌉쌀함이 깊게 번진다. 끝에는 해풍과 그을음이 길게 남아 옛 아일라의 단단한 풍모를 또렷이 새긴다.
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
