Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
the cask seems to have been very active, as plenty of cake and vanilla cream come to the fore at first, followed by wet stones, cooked peas, new tyres, a few whiffs of lilies (from at least fifteen metres away), and finally more classic Caol Ila notes: seawater, shellfish, a touch of tar… With water: ashes extinguished with seawater dominate. No complaints here
restaurant Palate
excellent, powerful, compact, with pepper, candied lemon, ashes, and seaweed. With water: pepper, salt, miso soup, ashes, and tar set the tone here. Very classic, very ‘Islay’; it feels a bit like being on the island’s southern coast
timer Finish
long, heavily ashy, with a hint of coal tar, and lemon bringing some zestiness to the aftertaste. A very, very faint, well the faintest touch of sulphur right at the end
