Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝으로 가져가기 전 가볍게 흔들면 옅은 밀짚빛 술이 잔 벽에 얇게 매달린다. 향을 맡으면 카올 일라다운 바닷내음과 레몬, 그을린 장작 연기가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 한 모금 머금으면 59.1도의 기운이 혀끝을 찌르다가 굴 껍데기 같은 짠맛과 재 향으로 번진다. 천천히 삼키면 1984년 증류된 원액의 기름진 질감이 입을 채우고, 차가운 잿불과 소금기 어린 피트 연기가 오래도록 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
we’re already in front of something more spirity and maybe a tad more medicinal than the average Caol Ila, with whiffs of antiseptic and tincture of iodine. Those medicinal notes grow bigger and bigger actually, let’s see what happens with the addition of a little water. With water: not much changes, it just gets a tad more mineral and nutty, but the medicinal side remains
restaurant Palate
punchy, very good, clean, peaty and very medicinal once again. Gentian eau-de-vie. Very faint notes of strawberry bubblegum and quite some salt. With water: no more bubblegum, rather more salt, walnuts and indeed, clams (or queen scallops, as you like)
timer Finish
rather long, with its medicinal side still there. Bitter almonds
