Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
very petrolic and ‘greasy’ in the best of senses. It has some of these terrific briny and seawater qualities that the more recent vintages possess, only there’s this added feeling of fatness here. Sheep wool oils, tarry rope, gherkins, anchovy paste, tiny hints of salted honey and TCP! With water: deeply into anchovy, sardines in smoked olive oil, capers mashed into a salsa verde with malt vinegar and pure seawater and lemon juice
restaurant Palate
probably some sherry influence at play as there’s this stunning salted almond and smoked kipper combination, along with an earthiness and a rather rich peppery streak as well. More of these wonderful vegetable stock, Maggi and smoked artichoke vibes that we often find in these older Caol Ilas. Lashings of tar, medical embrocations and old herbal ointments. With water: terrifically rounded, whole and singular now! Fat, thick peat smoke, tar, black pepper, salted liquorice and big, hearty, briny notes
timer Finish
very long, with germoline, which feels like very textbook Caol Ila. Also loads more controlled and pin-sharp coastal freshness, salinity and then kippers and smoked olive oil in the aftertaste
