Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 금빛이 잔 안에서 맑게 일렁인다. 아일라의 쿨일라가 25년을 보낸 이 보틀링은 갓 피운 모닥불 연기 위로 레몬과 바다 소금, 옅은 풀내음을 얹어 청량하게 피어오른다. 55.7도의 한 모금은 기름진 질감으로 흐르며 훈제 향과 후추, 라임의 산뜻함을 또렷이 드러낸다. 긴 숙성이 다듬은 피트는 거칠지 않고 정갈하게 가라앉으며, 여운은 짭짤한 재와 시트러스로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
exactly the DT, minus the sweetness. More earthy tones, damp earth, mushrooms, seaweed, a little mint… This one’s maybe a little more medicinal than other Caol Ilas, and certainly very fresh at 25 or 26 years of age. With water: much more width and much more depth than in the sister cask. Old herbal liqueurs, humus, cough medicine, then a little butterscotch… Pack of lozenges… Even hints of tropical fruits (passion)… Very nice complexity
restaurant Palate
bigger than the DT and much, much earthier. Quite some cinchona, ginger tonic, green tea, strong liquorice… It’s also much more medicinal and bitter. Heavily infused green tea. Quite a beast! With water: it became as meek as a lamb (almost), rounder, smoother, with the liquorice remaining in the background, together with wee touches of cumin. Really great now, very full, very satisfying
timer Finish
long, on the same flavours, maybe a tad more medicinal again
