Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold. But where’s the sherry?

air Nose

extremely fine, but it hasn’t quite got the 2006’s incredible… shall we say mezcalness? This one’s more a classic, it’s even got some bacon, beyond the perfect Caol-Ila-y purity. A young Caol Ila that rather toes the line, in other words. With water: indeed. Everything is in place, there are no flaws whatsoever, but still, the 2006…

restaurant Palate

extremely good, pure, sharp, smoky, lemony, briny… Superb, just not quite as entertaining as the 2006. Wow, the 2006! With water: top notch CI, but it’s getting just a little too sweet. Sweetish. Smidgens of sweetness

timer Finish

same
