Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 묵은 훈연과 젖은 밧줄 같은 해조 노트가 명확하게 드러난다. 1974년 증류해 21년을 보낸 카올 일라답게 세월에 다듬어진 피트가 날카롭지 않고 매끄럽게 정돈되어 있다. 팰럿은 왁스 같은 유질감 위로 레몬 껍질과 그을린 보리가 발전하며 58.2도가 묵직하게 받친다. 피니시는 재와 소금기가 길게 이어진다.
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
