Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
extremely more medicinal than ‘newer’ Caol Ila, with litres of mercurochrome and seawater as well as a more moderate tarriness, then rather fresh green fruits, granny smith, greengages… Bandages and embrocations are getting pretty obvious too. Whiffs of dry chenin blanc
restaurant Palate
superb albeit a little light(ish) but that’s the low strength and all the time spent in glass. Salted lemon juice, kiwi juice, camphor and eucalyptus (they almost always come as a pair in my book), some tar rather than ashes, a note of sage perhaps, antiseptic…
timer Finish
medium, really much on iodine. A curious touch of smoked pears in the aftertaste. Smoked tea flavoured with bits of dried pear – does anybody make that, by any chance?
