Tasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
whereas the 72s tended to have this rather mindboggling farmyard intensity, these 75s always seemed to tread a straighter tightrope between peat and salinity. And that’s certainly the case here. Petrol, lime juice, beach bonfire embers, tar, smoked waxes and some pure, crystalline peat. Smoky grist, kiln air, green olives in brine and some kippers drizzled with lemon juice. There’s also a deep and profound coastal ‘meatiness’ about the whole thing. With water: moves more towards farmy qualities now with these earthy, cow stable and gravely mineral notes. Still gristy, pure, petroly, peaty and extremely coastal though
restaurant Palate
sea water, white pepper, wood ash and smoked mussels in brine at first. A big, clean, ashy blade of peat. Dried kelp, rope, tar and - with a little time - a serious medical side as well. Embrocations, gauze, TCP, germoline etc... There really is a shared DNA that seemed to exist between Caol Ila, Port Ellen and Brora during these years. Quantum endramglement? With water: Ahh, pure Brora! It all comes together with water; smoked meats, pure peat, tar, oils, wood embers, seashore, brine, camphor, putty, lemon juice, medicines, antiseptic
timer Finish
extremely long with heathery peat, lemon oils and rind, eucalyptus, tar extract, seaweed, herbal ointments, black pepper and brine
