Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

roasted almonds this time, roasted sesame, roasted pine nuts, then the expected limoncello and seawater, with the appropriate quantities of tincture of iodine, creosote and just barbecue ashes. Fresh kelp and oysters too

restaurant Palate

excellently fresh, with a little varnish and really a lot of limoncello at first (feels higher than 46%), then more rustic notes of paint and, well, even more varnish. It's rather brutal, in fact, but that's a clear asset since we've all already got around 726,845 'regular' and 'gentler' bottles of Caol Ila in our drink cabinets

timer Finish

very long, varnishy, medicinal, ashy, salty and with some chillies
