Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드에서 25년을 보낸 시간이 아일라의 연기를 부드럽게 다듬어 놓았다. 잘 마른 장작 연기와 요오드, 바다 소금 향이 코끝에서 또렷이 피어오른다. 한 모금은 55.8도의 힘에도 매끄럽게 흐르며 훈연한 베이컨과 레몬 껍질, 미네랄이 입을 채운다. 카올 일라 특유의 청량한 피트가 옅은 황금빛 잔 속에서 깔끔하게 정돈되고, 여운은 짭짤한 연기로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
punchier than the DL, with a slightly wider spectrum. That means that it’s a tad fruitier (ripe pineapples) as well as a little grassier (white rum, quite obvious). Other than that, it’s similar to the DL. With water: same ‘old Ardbeg’ effect as with the DL. Not that old Caol Ilas aren’t great, but ‘hurray!’ Ahem, excuse me
restaurant Palate
again, very close to the DL but a tad richer, and that’s not only the higher ABV in my opinion. Fir tree honey, walnut skin, ashes, lemon. Excellent. With water: more of the same, with a greater mouth feel. Very zesty
timer Finish
long, clean, with more peat and pepper in the aftertaste
