Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
here we have a tight, very clean Caol Ila that certainly doesn't scream 1st fill oloroso. Wet wool, apples, ashes from an old campfire, oyster shells, indeed a bit of green walnut… With water: not much change, just a hint of bread dough
restaurant Palate
this was a very, very well-behaved oloroso. Or perhaps it was ultra-speed seasoning with oloroso that had already met several new casks. Herbal spices, pencil shavings, lime liqueur, Jamaican rum… On the palate, it's a really unusual profile, but very lovely. Excellent concentration. With water: excellent now, with notes of walnuts, kippers, lime, herbs (sorrel, watercress), salty porridge enhanced with a lot of whisky…
timer Finish
long, even more precise. This green wood aspect works very well, not sure where it comes from. More medicinal in the aftertaste
