Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

yeah, indeed, it’s absolutely not winey and there aren’t any obvious muscaty tones. It’s a mild Cola Ila, that is, with some baked apples and rhubarb compote plus the usual smoke, ashes and light brine. Oysters with a little vanilla sauce and fragments of coal. Butter

restaurant Palate

rather sweet and, I must say, slightly weak on your palate, this lacks oomph in my opinion. What happened? Too bad because otherwise it’s very nicely salty and smoky, mild, with notes of liquorice allsorts and blood oranges (the sweeter ones). Not very peaty

timer Finish

a little short for Caol Ila, with more fresh fruits, between apples and maybe litchis (just touches)
