Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it is a rather acetic young Caol Ila, while 'acetic' is a compliment in this kind of context. Creamy white balsamico and whatnot. Mud, wool, kelp, also custard and white chocolate. We're intrigued… With water: there, that old tweed jacket that's seen many moons and showers. I mean, proper Harris tweed from when that was still meaning something, not ex-Portugal. And boy do I utterly love Portugal!
restaurant Palate
as if someone had tried to mature a blend of seawater, green pepper, ashes and lemon juice in a wooden vat. The end result is awesome. With water: careful, do not drown this one. Notes of bananas, that wasn't expected
timer Finish
long, relatively sweet and 'coated'. We used to call this 'sweet peat' when we were still innocents
