Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
yes for iodine and kelp, lemon juice, seawater and just a large plate of oysters. In a way, it’s basic, but that’s exactly what one would expect from a young Caol Ila. With water: superb seaweed, wakame, more oysters yet, a touch of hay and even manure, then a wee hint of white chocolate and vanilla…
restaurant Palate
I don’t think I’m using the expression ‘self-evident’ too often, but I believe it would fit here. Once again, some sugary or rather liqueury touches from the high ethanol, which should now go away… With water: indeed. Another simple, ultra-clean and ‘millimetric’ beauty from the Sound of Islay
timer Finish
rather long and rather more lemony. I know they grow lemons near Ullapool, do they do that on Islay too? I mean, not at the Co-op in Bowmore… The aftertaste is a little bitterer
