Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold
air Nose
A different level to the 25s. This is more concentrated and more complex as you might imagine. But at the same time it’s also extremely classical aged Caol Ila with these beautifully balanced medical, seashore and soft green fruit characteristics. Light tea notes such as green tea, mint tea, chamomile and lapsang souchong. Also many mineral qualities such as wet beach pebbles, sand and a few flinty notes. A couple of pineapple cubes, a few gorse flowers, sea salt, frying pancetta and underneath everything a wee slick of peat oils
restaurant Palate
Soft, undulating, waxy peats. Almost like if you were to take a very old Glen Grant or something similar and infuse it with some aged peated malt somehow. There’s honey, glazed citrus peel, camphor, smoked oysters, a little cured meat and some earthy and background farmy notes. Goes on with smoked kelp, tar liqueur, lanolin, coal dust and herb infused olive oil
timer Finish
Long and showcasing a beautiful fusion of luscious green fruits and thicker, peats and waxy notes. Almost suggestive of some aged mid-1970s Broras
