Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
fresh butter and soft peat at first nosing, then brine and cigar ashes. That was only the start, as we get more fruits after that, mainly overripe apples and touches of pears and peaches as well as tinned pineapple. Also whiffs of exhaust fumes and walnut liqueur flying around… Not just the average Caol Ila (but Caol Ila isn’t average anyway). With water: as often with Caol Ila, touches of green olives and brine do arise. That’s nice! Also more almond oil and marzipan (also often in Caol Ila)
restaurant Palate
big briny and lemony attack on a bed of custard, ginger and walnut skin. The peat is loud yet distinguished and the whole is complex, becoming sweeter and rounder after a few seconds, then smokier and drier again. In other words, a ‘cinematic’ CI… With water: perfect, creamy, smoky and sweet at the same time. Smoked lemon marmalade and a kumquatty side
timer Finish
rather long, balanced, smoky, briny and slightly fruity (rather marmalade). Some green tea in the aftertaste
