Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very similar style, this one’s just a tad rounder, and probably a little more mentholy (vs. paraffiny). There are also a little more topical notes (mangos and maracujas), and less fabrics and stuff. So a little less ‘deep’, and a little more ‘playful’. With water: melted wax, green almonds, a bowl of fresh Oostende shrimps, and a little cellar dust
restaurant Palate
harsh and bitter in the greatest way, biting, totally very green, and full of fresh putty and paint. A challenging old Caol Ila that could as well have been 10 years old – quite. In case you haven’t noticed, I love it. With water: this sweet saltiness that’s so very old Caol Ila. Some kippers, some fresh marzipan
timer Finish
medium, almondy, coastal, slightly putty-like, with a grassy aftertaste. Ideas of mercurochrome and crushed anchovies in the aftertaste
