Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold
air Nose
A beautiful mix of seawater, fisherman’s wellies, tar, kippers and many varied ointments. It’s a rather different style to these contemporary, extremely blade-like and ashy Caol Ilas. This is more oily, textural and earthy with its peat qualities. Further notes of green olives in brine, black olive tapenade, anchovy paste, soot and smoked fish. Pure braw! As they say in Turckheim I believe
restaurant Palate
big, fat, oily and densely malty. Lots of smoked barley, lemon and barley water, dried cereal notes, dry phenolics, a little marzipan and some salted cod. Goes on with hessian, more sea water, mercurochrome, metal polish and lime zest. Becomes intensely saline and lemony
timer Finish
Long and superbly briny, ashy, citrusy and farmyardy. Feels like slurping peated olive oil
