Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

everything Caol Ila stands for, not too far from the official 12. Brine, seashells, seaweed, fresh almonds, ashes and a moderate albeit very nice clean smokiness plus just hints of antiseptic

restaurant Palate

good attack, even more on brine and smoked fish than on the nose. Liquorice and kippers. Develops more on salted marzipan, should that exist (I’m sure it does)

timer Finish

surprisingly long, salty and slitghtly rooty and resinous
