Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 북동안의 차가운 바닷바람을 맞으며 자란 쿨일라는 섬 위스키 중에서도 정갈한 연기를 지닌다. 1969년 증류된 이 보틀링은 옅은 황금빛을 띠며 40도의 부드러운 도수로 다가온다. 향은 은은한 피트 연기와 바닷내음, 레몬 껍질이 차례로 떠오르고 입에서는 옅은 훈연과 미네랄, 풀잎의 산뜻함이 가볍게 퍼진다. 오랜 숙성이 모난 곳을 다듬어 짠 기운을 머금은 여운이 잔잔히 잠겨 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
cognac/tobacco
air Nose
very sherried attack. Some wax and some rancio, plus lots of burnt rubber and alcohol and hints of orange marmalade– but there isn’t too much of Ardbeg’s usual smoke… Lots of roasted coffee beans too. Let’s try the
restaurant Palate
big attack, very peppery. Cooked apple, compote, clove, orange marmalade. Bold and compact, but not overly complex. Long, bold finish. Not the best ‘Feis Isle’ Ardbeg (ah, the 2002!) but a very nice Ardbeg, for sure. 88 points . CHRISTMAS WHISKY ADS - left: Dewar's, 1932 - ' Some Christmas, eh? ' Funny to see that the maid is so happy about the fact that her 'masters' will get flat drunk with this full case of whisky for Christmas! Right: Teacher's, 1937 - ' It's the flavour'. At that time, whisky was to be offered to your best buddies, because it's so good. In other words, keep it simple and stupid: tell the truth... And oh, about Teacher's... ... I've seen this funny wall calendar in Italy a few weeks ago. I guess it dates from the early 1970s or so... Cool, eh? You just can't spend all your time with your best buddies, can you? Yes, the masses must be educated. December 20, 2004 TASTING – HEAD TO HEAD, TWO 15 yo ‘OLD’ CAOL ILAS Caol Ila 15 yo 1969 (40%, G&M Connoisseur’s Choice)
