Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 호박빛이 잔 위로 천천히 가라앉는다. 1984년 빈티지의 카올 일라 27년은 부드러운 아일라의 한 면을 보여주는 보틀링이다. 코에는 마른 미역과 짠 미네랄, 옅은 토탄 연기가 깊게 머문다. 입에서는 잘 익은 레몬과 푸른 사과가 가볍게 흐르며 바닷바람의 짠 기운이 따라온다. 51.9도가 만드는 단단한 균형 끝에는 잿불의 향과 옅은 약초가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
a CI that rather looks towards Laphroaig at first nosing, with more medicinal and dry coastal notes than expected, including mint, camphor and eucalyptus, Vicks-style. Behind that, some sharp and pretty beautiful whiffs of citrons and grapefruits that give it a great nervousness and then a gangue of vanilla custard and maybe mango coulis. Unusually medicinal
restaurant Palate
rich and, once again, more southshorish (you’re a barbarian, S.) than expected. A very salty feeling, litres of brine, anchovies, then more tangerine marmalade, maybe a little walnut liqueur (from the sherry cask?) and lastly, sunflower oil. A lot of sunflower oil
timer Finish
long and rich, richer than the ‘average’ Caol Ila in any case. And very oily…
