Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 호그스헤드에서 30년을 보낸 이 카올일라는 아일라 피트가 긴 세월에 곱게 다듬어진 모습을 보여준다. 리필 캐스크라 우드는 물러서고 부드러워진 연기가 중심을 잡는다. 향에서는 잔잔한 모닥불과 레몬, 바다 소금기가 또렷이 드러난다. 입에서는 옅은 훈연과 올리브 오일, 흰 후추가 59.4도의 기운을 업고 매끈하게 번진다. 옅은 황금빛 너머로 부드러운 연기와 짠기의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s one of these old Caol Ilas that went toward marzipan and walnuts, soot and leather polish, fresh butter and Barbour grease. And fresh paint. Lovely nose, just a bit strong. So, with water: absolutely superb, in the style of the ‘older old Caol Ilas’. There are whiffs of muddy dogs (yeah, a variant of our beloved wet dogs – I’m sorry, dogs), damp newspapers, creosote, some seawater, walnut wine, more fresh paint (any colour)…
restaurant Palate
fantastic. Some kind of smoked lemon liqueur, with of course a briny side and again quite some walnuts and a little putty. Cigar ashes, fresh walnut skin… With water: ideal. More lemon, more tangerines and a little more salt. And marzipan. And oysters. And salted liquorice
timer Finish
not the longest but it’s all very elegant. Lemon, salt and putty
