Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
what I really enjoy in these old ‘naturally matured’ Cis is the purity, as well as the various vegetal oils that you’ll find in the nose. In this case, that would be sesame, grape pip, and perhaps rapeseed. All the rest is pretty perfect, on seawater, iodine, fresh almonds (big and very CI), camphor, herbal liqueurs, Synthol, fresh walnuts, mushrooms… In short this is very Caol Ila indeed. With water: oysters, lemon and kelp. Would you mind passing the Sancerre?
restaurant Palate
it’s pretty big, rather more brutal than I had expected, but also more tropical, more exotic, with notes of mangos ala old Laphroaig, a lot of sap and waxes, mint, tar, sesame and olive oils… With water: oh, one that gets a little dirty, not a problem at all. So old vegetables, I would say, French beans… More tar too, ink, oils, almond glue… Feels very fresh, and young I would add. Aren’t these batches pretty immortal?
timer Finish
long, almondy, salty, with notes of citronella and smoked salmon. Works very well
