Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 1983년 빈티지 카올 일라 35년의 옅은 황금빛 너머로 식어가는 모닥불의 연기 향이 먼저 인사한다. 잔을 한 번 흔들면 짭조름한 바닷바람과 익은 레몬 껍질, 옅은 약초 향이 차례로 따라 오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 56.4%의 도수가 입안에서 부드러운 오일의 질감으로 풀리며 차가운 페트와 매끄러운 시리얼의 단맛이 함께 흐른다. 삼킨 뒤에도 35년 숙성이 남긴 잔잔한 피트 잔향이 입천장에 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
it’s still a nervous one, pretty young in the good sense of the word. I mean it’s not tired at all! Yet, it’s no peat bomb, as it rather starts on cut grass and lemon, with the obligatory briny notes in the background and touches of raw barley still present. Also whiffs of antiseptic, mercurochrome… Slightly a notch rough for a 28yo Caol Ila but otherwise typical. With water: works, with these touches of putty and linseed oil that are often to be found in these drams
restaurant Palate
excellent now, rounded but not too much, slightly medicinal again and then very briny and salty. A lot of lemon too, the whole becoming more and more zesty and, yes, nervous. Zing! With water: swims like a champ – should go to London. Lemon, brine and rather more ashes than before (a signature!)
timer Finish
pretty long, balanced. Smoked lemonade on oysters
