Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
that’s what’s nice with these CIs DE, the moscatel doesn’t feel much, and in this particular case, it feels even less than in the earlier versions. Couldn’t they just drop the finishing and still call it ‘moscatel’? I’m sure no one would complain. In short, a nice fresh and clean Caol Ila, properly coastal and smoky, with whiffs of oysters and kippers
restaurant Palate
okay, it is a little rounder than the average CI, and there is a very little winey sourness in the back, but other than that, it’s good Caol Ila, with grapefruits and salty smoky fish and seashells. It’s just a little less ashy than usual
timer Finish
same. Medium length. Some brine, some iodine, a touch of butterscotch
