Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold (phew)
air Nose
and yet the sherry feels, but it’s rather a fino-ish kind of sherry, with plenty of walnuts and a lot, and mean really a lot, of tobacco. Both cigarettes and Cuban cigars. Wonderful whiffs of sunbathed stones on a Greek island (excuse me?), some earth, some camphor, old clothes in an old wardrobe, old books, then even more cigars… This is truly spectacular, but I’ve already seen such noses that led to a wrecked palate, so vorsicht! With water: it’s not the first time that I’ve thought that Caol Ila could be more medicinal than Laphroaig
restaurant Palate
immense, huge, massive, and yet very elegant. The resins and saps are coming out, which is just perfect. With water: a little more fruits and sweetness to bring civilisation to this oldish beast. A good load of salt too
timer Finish
long and extremely salty. Really very salty, was some manzanilla involved?
