Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

quite powerful, expressive, very fruity at first nosing. Lots of apple juice, tinned pineapples and rosewater, with the phenolic notes taking off little by little after a while. Something nicely ashy, waxy, before it gets frankly maritime, on fresh oysters, kelp… And then we have quite some caramel, fudge, cooked pears… All that is very elegant and perfectly balanced. A subtle, gentle yet uncomplicated Islayer

restaurant Palate

it’s not exactly wild but certainly a little rougher now. Quite some peat, pepper and nutmeg, allspice, propolis, developing on earthy, rooty notes (ginseng)… Peppered apple pie (?!), getting then quite grassy and herbal, and also rather tannic (green tannins, grape seeds). More and more nervous and full-bodied, getting even salty. The finish isn’t too long but balanced and very ‘full’ – and very salty, with notes of cooked celeriac. A very good young Caol Ila! 85 points . C aol Ila 1991/2000 (46%, Wilson & Morgan Barrel Selection)
