Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine. That's promising news

air Nose

forget about the octave (so to speak), this Caol Ila is as fresh as a daisy, almost nervy, with seawater, fresh seaweed, lemon, oysters, and all sorts of ashes (mostly peat). With water: Caol Ila precision. Magnificent chalk

restaurant Palate

superb, lemony, fresh, with a magnificent smokiness. And oysters, of course. Splendid. With water: perfect. Bitter almonds, lemon, Muscadet, oysters, 'zero' dosage champagne, ashes

timer Finish

similar, perhaps a touch oilier. Notes of apple and lemon liqueur, then some freshly ground pepper and a fairly massive smokiness
