Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

huge and very pleasant grassiness. Candle wax, cider apples, putty. The smokiness sort of vanished it seems but the general profile is still perfect. Very elegant

restaurant Palate

round, waxy. Almond skins, apple skins, marzipan. A little more smoke now. Green tea. Very good, sippable just like that. Pleasant signs of age and an excellent mouth feel. 87 points. Caol Ila 1979/2006 (46%, Jean Boyer's Best Casks of Scotland) We already had a C/S version of this one and we liked it a lot
