Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a peaty one obviously, fresh and clean, more on brine and even seawater than the 1990 but also less complex, simpler, classically peaty just like any young Islay would be. Some medicinal notes, more ala Laphroaig this time. Antiseptic. With water: ashier, smokier, more mineral as well but even simpler globally. Nice, but simple and maybe a tad too ‘whispering’
restaurant Palate
ha! Now we’re more around Caol Ila. I guess I shouldn’t mention other bran… sorry, distilleries but that’s quicker. Anyway, this is very good now. With water: I’m afraid it really suffers from the comparison with the 1990 (but sadly, I didn’t know that that one was going to be a peaty version so I put it before this ‘Heavily Peated’.) It’s good, it’s relatively lightly peated, it’s not far from a young Caol Ila again… Yes, it’s good
timer Finish
medium long, clean, ashy, a tad ‘green’ (apple peelings), with a little pepper in the aftertaste as often
