Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1974년 증류액이 오크 캐스크 안에서 21년을 보낸 흔적이 카올 일라의 진중한 골격을 또렷이 그려낸다. 향에서는 차가운 바닷바람과 옅은 훈연, 잘 익은 레몬 껍질이 분명하게 드러나고 광이 도는 곡물이 뒤따른다. 입에서는 짭조름한 미네랄과 흰 후추, 잿불 향이 흘러간다. 58.6도의 단단한 알코올이 균형을 무게감 있게 받치고 카덴헤드 오센틱 컬렉션답게 깔끔하고 긴 여운이 깊게 머문다. 옅은 황금빛이 잔에 맑게 비친다.
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
