Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 33년을 보낸 카올일라의 옅은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 따라 흘러내린다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 누그러진 페놀 연기와 짭조름한 바닷바람, 잘 익은 레몬 껍질 향이 인사한다. 50.1도의 한 모금을 머금으면 더글라스 랭의 리필 호그스헤드가 바닐라와 약한 그릴드 베이컨, 흰 후추를 입천장에 부드럽게 비춘다. 삼킨 뒤에는 아일라의 옅은 짠맛이 길게 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
get-out-of-here! An ode to proper aging, with stunning notes of old teas and tobaccos, embrocations, old polished pieces of furniture, overripe quinces (as quinces should be), and secret oils straight from Leonardo’s workshop. With water: what I’ve always liked in old Caol Ilas was the appearances of fish oils, fresh almonds, and old earthy Chinese teas. As if by chance, that’s exactly what’s happening here. Also wee mangos that they may have borrowed from Bowmore’s
restaurant Palate
extraordinarily firm and vibrant (professors would write ‘assertive’), with a rubbery/mentholy side that comes from the old wood, and a very complex blend of herbal teas and tarry ointments. Well, that, more or less. With water: careful, please never drown these oldsters. Actually, it doesn’t even stand a single drop of H2O on the palate or it would become dry and drying. No water is the way here
timer Finish
perfect when undiluted, with tropical fruits dancing right on your tongue
