Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
a slightly buttery one at first nosing (fresh butter, it’s not butyric as such), rather grassy, with an ashy smokiness that’s still quite compact and kind of fresh. A lot of soot, as usual, and quite some vanilla too. It’s not very coastal. With water: it got very coastal. Ah well! Crystallised citrons
restaurant Palate
appropriately nervous, zesty, lemony, salty and peppery, with this sooty/ashy feeling that screams Caol Ila. Good body. A little candy sugar developing, which makes it rather sweeter than others. With water: more fruitiness, towards grapefruits and lemon zests. Maybe it got a little simpler but it’s still excellent, extremely compact
timer Finish
long, clean and zesty, as it should be
