Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
pure, crystalline, oily, barley-y, almost a little paraffiny Caol Ila. Cut flowers in a vase, hay, clams, a little white chocolate, old flyers, magazines… Wasn't this one a tad fragile, in fact? Only one way to find out… With water: these notes of marzipan, ink and bitter almonds that are usually rather to be found in older CIs. Intriguing
restaurant Palate
strange stuff on the palate. Fanta, cardboard, bubblegum, Parma violets, notes of cologne… Was it an ex-Bowmore cask? 1985? With water: how funny indeed! I'm finding strawberry liqueur, wild raspberry eau-de-vie (king of spirits), pomegranates… It's as if quite a few molecules had decided to break free. Ver funny and very good, but Caol Ila, really?
timer Finish
more fruity voodooing
