Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a rather discreet Caol Ila, a gentleman, with tweed and with a touch of soot, then hints of melon and vineyard peach. You might think it came from an ex-cognac cask, though apparently, it’s not. There’s also an air of an old forge, metal, and greases… With water: motor oil, sourdough, and liquorice… Could it have been an ex-Longrow-ex-bourbon cask, by any chance?
restaurant Palate
here comes Caol Ila’s intrinsic power, joined by a nearly effervescent profile—Schweppes, ginger, cinchona, sea salt, and an unexpected touch of jasmine tea. It all works very nicely, even if my description sounds improbable. With water: not very Caol Ila, but what matters is it’s both beautiful and delicious
timer Finish
long, with those floral notes lingering—lavender, jasmine, and even rosemary
