Tasting Notes

Colour

Gold

air Nose

no stuffy raisins, no heady cherry tea and no bags of rubber and leaves, this is well Caol Ila, with this impeccable freshness and, as far as PX wood goes, rather notes of menthol and pine resin. Also tangerines and hessian. With water: mandarins, bananas, other tropical fruits…

restaurant Palate

you really feel the spicy oak behind the seawater and lemon juice, and that's obviously the octave. Paprika, Thai basil, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, curry, salt, Szechuan pepper… Very modern, but balance has been preserved. With water: extremely well mastered, even if it may be a little too much on the spicy side

timer Finish

long, spicy and more on butterscotch and nougat
