Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it hasn’t got the freshness of the 12yo, but it’s relatively more expressive when unreduced, with a little lemon juice, brine, oysters, almonds and smoked salmon. Water again, please! With water: more grapefruit juice, fresh butter, lager, soaked grains, herbs (wormwood, dill)… Truly wonderful but I tend to like the youngster’s ‘vibrancy’ (and why not?) even better
restaurant Palate
superb! Rich, creamy, fruity, peaty, smoky, herbal, coastal… And so satisfying. Many of these 1979-1983 Caol Ilas become outstanding when they reach around 30 years of age, and this one is a good example. Superb lemony/smoky/ashy/briny tones. With water: smoked lemon juice with a dash of salt
timer Finish
long, smoky and very, very briny. Just a faint bitterness in the aftertaste
