Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 동북 해안, 주라 해협을 마주한 쿨일라는 차가운 바닷물로 식힌 스피릿에 해양의 결을 새긴다. 버번 호그스헤드에서 31년을 보낸 이 보틀링은 옅은 황금빛을 띤다. 오랜 숙성이 피트를 둥글게 다듬어 향은 은은한 그을음과 레몬, 바다 소금이 어우러진다. 입에서는 올리브 오일 같은 질감 위로 매끄러운 연기와 시트러스가 흐른다. 48.7도의 도수가 균형을 지키고, 여운은 잔잔한 훈연과 미네랄로 길게 남는다.

an ode to time, both the time spent in the cask and the time in the bottle, even if it’s just ten years. We’re treated to a rather sublime medley of syrups and herbal teas, flowers and small berries, all led by almonds and wild little black cherries. It’s an unfathomable subtlety, shaped by the interplay of molecules over the years. I’m almost certain that none of these aromas were present when this Caol Ila was, say, ten or twelve years old. In contrast, the smoke has vanished, swallowed by the whole or perhaps transmuted. You often find that in older Islay whiskies

Oh, that’s it, game over—this is another dimension entirely. It’s brimming with minerals and herbs, oils and fats, and flavours for which we don’t even have analogies (which gives you a bit of a break, lucky you) ... Superb flavours that evoke nothing familiar, unknown substances, molecules never before tasted—possibly even a touch extra-terrestrial. In fact, some elements might remind one of the finest mezcals, and speaking of which, we really ought to do a full mezcal session on WF again—it’s been far too long
timer Finish
Superb vegetal and vinous freshness (think great white wines)
