Tasting Notes
Colour
very pale white wine
air Nose
well there are obvious similarities, but this one hasn't got that 'rechar' roundness, which means that it's got rather more Islay mud and raw lambswool, smoky porridge, apple and lemon juice, oysters, crabs, ashes, and probably a wee pine-iness, around crushed pine needles. Vicks VapoRub too, sandalwood… I find it pretty complex for its young age,
restaurant Palate
this time it is a notch rounder, a little more on pear eau-de-vie, on the other hand there are more seashells, whelks and clams, oysters… And guess what else? A drop of Tabasco which will make it all even more gastronomical. Seriously, great drop, Caol Ila being a sure bet since… around the year 1732. Yeah right
timer Finish
long, a tad less perfect than the James Eadie, but that would also add some charms
