Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
‘old’ Caol Ila used to be more phenolic and tarry, and this is another fine example. Maybe were they cutting lower? New plastic pouch, leatherette, putty, ashes, then green apples, walnuts, seaweed, humus, a drop of plum spirit, old papers… It’s both subtle and big
restaurant Palate
it’s the saltiness, the brine that strikes first, and that would come together with wee notes of tinned pineapples. After that it becomes very fino-ish, with these walnuts, sweet mustard, more walnuts, manzanilla, green coffee… The strength is perfect. Only problem, it goes down a little too well
timer Finish
long, rather ashy, a tad astringent in a good way (walnut skins) and with quite some salted liquorice in the background
