Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
this one is much less smoky and peaty, and consequently much fruitier. Bold notes of fresh pear juice and pineapples mixed with sea air. The peat starts to shine through after a good three or four minutes, but never gets as bold as in the Whisky Galore version. Still a very nice expression, again very clean and pure
restaurant Palate
again, it’s less bold, less peaty and more fruity, but in no way less good this time. It gets as earthy when developing, and certainly saltier and more maritime (remember the last time you drank seawater?) The finish isn’t extraordinarily long but very ‘rooty’, gently bitter. Another very good one! 86 points . Caol Ila 1995/2005 'Extra Strength' (50%, Wilson & Morgan)
