Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

reeks of apple juice at first nosing, which was unexpected. After that, exactly what was expected, that is to say a pretty perfect combination of fresh putty, brine, coal ashes (old coal stove), oysters and lemon juice. A little antiseptic too

restaurant Palate

same, plus that saltiness. Very nice attack, sadly it gets a little light towards the middle, which is strange. No I didn’t have cask strength whisky just before this little baby

timer Finish

shortish for Caol Ila, maybe a matter of reducing done in a strange way. Nice salty aftertaste, though, with again this medicinal side (antiseptic)
