Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
pure youngish Caol Ila from a moderately active barrel, rather on oolong tea and mercurochrome at first, then cider apples, oysters, ashes and tangerine fruit-paste, which is another guilty pleasure of mine, just like quince – and by the way, there's some quince too in there. With water: smoked wine gums and barbecued marshmallows
restaurant Palate
it's really fruity, even more on quinces and tangerines than it was on the nose. A rather perfect salty, smoky and citrusy combination when neat, with just a little white pepper in the background. With water: more classic young Caol Ila, totally flawless. A little herbal tea, dog rose, honeysuckle, lime tea…
timer Finish
the quinces and tangerines are back. A touch of banana and guava too, probably from the barrel
