Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

a hugely buttery and kind of vegetal Caol Ila, with big notes of apple peels, white truffles, petrol, Swiss cheese, cut leaves (newly pruned privet) and metal and not much peat. Very unusual and probably flawed from a blender’s point of view, but most pleasant and interesting from an amateur’s

restaurant Palate

wonderfully almondy and salty at the same time. The cheese is back as well (Comté, Edam), cold apple pie, kippers, walnuts… Gets then peatier and more candied (lemon pie). Very good, with some aspects remind us of ‘old’ Caol Ila (pre-1970s)

timer Finish

medium long, still on apple and lemon pies. Peated marzipan (?)
