Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 옅은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 천천히 흐른다. 코를 가까이 가져가면 카일 일라 1982의 36년 호그스헤드 숙성이 다듬어 둔 부드러운 토탄 연기와 짭짤한 바닷바람이 가장 먼저 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 54.3도가 입천장을 매끈하게 채우며 라임 껍질과 흰 후추, 옅은 약방 향이 따라온다. 킹스버리 오 실레이스를 삼키면 아일라 북동 해안의 미네랄이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting 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
