Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 카올일라 특유의 정제된 피트 스모크를 중심으로 열리며, 레몬 껍질과 바닷가 소금기가 또렷하게 따라온다. 27년의 시간이 거친 연기를 둥글게 다듬어 팰럿에서는 올리브 오일 같은 기름기와 백후추가 발전한다. 52.2도의 도수는 단단하면서도 매끄럽다. 피니시는 식어가는 재와 은은한 감귤이 길게 이어져 구조감이 또렷하다.
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…
