Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 향을 끌어올리면 아일라의 쿨일라답게 짭조름한 연기와 그을린 레몬, 식은 재가 먼저 코를 친다. 곧 셰리 캐스크가 남긴 건포도와 말린 자두의 단 향이 그 연기 사이로 스며든다. 한 모금 머금으면 55.4도가 혀를 데우며 훈제 향과 흑설탕, 볶은 견과가 부딪히듯 번진다. 1980년 증류한 이 보틀링은 옛 쿨일라의 오일리한 피트와 셰리의 조합이 또렷이 드러난다. 마지막에는 소금기 어린 연기와 마른 과일이 길게 맞물린다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw/pale gold
air Nose
it’s seems that it’s one of the leafy ones, with this grassy, vegetal peat and big whiffs of garden bonfire. Then more paraffin, almond oil, apple and walnut peelings and then clay and chalk. Not a peat monster thus far, but we won’t complain. With water: hello, wet dogs! And clams, oysters, seaweed…
restaurant Palate
oh yes! A lot of oomph and one of those lemony bursts that go so well with this distillery’s fairly big peatiness. Did anyone peat a few tons of lemons? There’s also a lot of brine, cider apples and then touches of sandalwood from the cask, I guess. How did they manage to come through? Big body. More syrup and vanilla after a while, as well as more bitter notes (herbs, ginger, citron). With water: becomes a little drier, not really flat – not at all – but I liked it rather better when neat
timer Finish
long, lemony and much spicier. A lot of pepper, the oak wakes up!
