Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 캐스크에서 30년을 보낸 긴 숙성이 카올 일라 1979년 빈티지의 피트를 한결 우아하게 다듬었다. 향은 옅은 훈연과 레몬, 밀랍, 바다 소금기가 차례로 올라오고, 입에서는 57.9도가 부드러운 연기와 꿀, 흰 후추로 매끄럽게 흐른다. 오랜 숙성이 아일라의 거친 피트를 섬세한 미네랄로 바꿔 놓았다. 옅은 황금빛 잔 안에서 짭조름한 연기 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a rather bitter, rubbery and milky start, on huge notes of crushed leaves, raw propolis, manure and rubber bands. Gets then very milky and porridgy, with also quite some cheap perfume (yes, lavender). Immature and hard to enjoy on the nose, I’m afraid
restaurant Palate
ah, this is a little better although it’s still bitter and rubbery at the attack, as well as very mashy. We do have these perfumy notes as well (lavender). Develops on pineapple sweets, crystallised oranges, notes of tequila… Well… Rather long but cardboardy (and waxy) finish, with also something like ginger tonic and heavily hopped beer. Ahem... 67 points . October 26, 2006 TASTING – TWO NEW ‘BELGIAN’ CAOL ILAS Caol Ila 1979/2006 (57.4%, Taste Still, cask #2796, 227 bottles)
