Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

this one is much smokier, mineral, ashy… Notes of wet clay and chalk, old books, straw… Light spices (soft paprika). A little linseed oil, paper, whiffs of fresh mint… Rather less expressive than the 1966 but still delicate and subtly smoky. Same comment on the ABV

restaurant Palate

weaker, quite tired, on apples and lightly infused tea. Cardboard. Too bad. Very short finish. Very nice nose but almost no palate I’m afraid. 72 points . Caol Ila 1968 (57%, Samaroli, oval label, 1980's)
