Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

another purer Caol Ila, with some paraffin yet again, carbon, new leatherette, apple juice, gentle smoke (this time), almonds, and rather less coastal elements, perhaps because of those 'freshly charred hogsheads'. But there is rather a lot of cough syrup. With water: linseed oil, wool, Barbour grease, new wellies and porridge. Prettish Scottish, no?

restaurant Palate

awesome salty sweetness, with some tropical fruits from those fresh-charred hoggies – probably – and many oysters and many lemons. Excellent. With water: terrific, saltier yet, with olives stuffed with almonds or anchovy paste. I mean both, but separately. I know what I'm trying to say

timer Finish

long, more on ashes and olives
