Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에는 옅은 황금빛이 잘 흐른다. 아일라 카올 일라에서 1983년 증류해 30년을 보내고 하이 스피리츠 컬렉션이 2013년 컬러스 컬렉션으로 병입한 빈티지 보틀링이다. 향에는 짭조름한 바닷내음, 마른 풀, 옅은 모닥불 연기와 잘 익은 사과의 노트가 깊게 머문다. 46도의 절제된 도수가 입안에서 가벼운 피트와 야생 꿀, 마른 시리얼의 균형을 단단히 보여준다. 여운은 짠 바닷바람과 옅은 잿내로 잔잔히 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark straw
air Nose
proof! Graceful indeed, much more complex than the restless youngsters that we tried yesterday, with waxes, oils, zests, almonds, seaweed, oysters, anchovies, sardines, overripe apples, ink, greasy grasses, engine oil, hessian and almonds. And if you’re nosing deeply, you’re transported to a meadow on the southeast shore of Islay. That would be the Oa, wouldn’t it
restaurant Palate
pretty perfect. There’s maybe a very small kind of chemical touch in the very first drops (Fanta-like), but then it’s a perfect old Caol Ila, still vibrant (as they say – you can’t write tasting notes if you don’t use vibrant from time to time), with some salt, olive brine, lemon, smoked salmon, lapsang souchong and this very particular grassiness that’s to be found in… old Caol Ila. Some kind of cactus?
timer Finish
quite long, mainly on smoked salmon, then lemon. Love it
