Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

textbook linseed oil, seawater, crabs and prawns, seaweed and mentholated smoke. Nothing to quibble about, it’s precise and very charming

restaurant Palate

soft and rounded for a Caol Ila, but how we do enjoy those extra 3%! It’s like acacia honey smoked over fir and beechwood, to which one might have added a splash of lemon juice, a touch of oyster brine and bits of smoked salmon (with beechwood again, naturally)

timer Finish

lovely length, excellent freshness, and above all these distinctly coastal notes. The smoked honey makes a welcome comeback in the aftertaste
