Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
it’s a less zesty version, with rather more butter at first nosing as well as hints of dried bananas – from the sherry? Certainly less ‘focused’ than most other young Caol Ilas, but not unpleasant. Notes of orange cake, putty, just touches of brine and kippers, ideas of chardonnay… A little antiseptic as well. Very curious about the palate…
restaurant Palate
a strange one indeed. Maybe a tad flat at first sips, with also something slightly burnt (toasts) and then more and more brine, the spirit starting to have the upper hand but without becoming really ‘big’. Also a little cough syrup and liquorice
timer Finish
relatively short, with more apple peel and other bitterish elements. Salty aftertaste and again these slight ‘burnt’ notes
