Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
quite sherried this time, with quite some caramel, cooked apple, ale. Perhaps a bit sour and woody. Nothing special but it’s quite enjoyable. A breakfast malt again? a very fruity one, with lots of freshly cut apple and whiffs of simple, straightforward peat smoke. More fruity than smoky. in fact a simple, young Caol Ila. Smoky, a bit farmy, some apple juice… Not complex at all but quite nice
restaurant Palate
very caramelly and a bit tannic. Very sweet and peppery (white pepper) but not much else. No distillery character that I can get, I’m afraid - what's Craigellachie's marker again? 75 points . MUSIC – BLUES - Highly recommended listening: legend James Bolden plays Friday is my holiday.mp3 . (That could also be the French bureaucrats' motto ;-)). Now, take care, you'll keep listening to James Bolden again and again for days... Yeah, better buy his CD's right now! June 17, 2005 TASTING - THREE INDIE 10 yo CAOL ILAS Caol Ila 1991/2002 ‘Flagon Collection’ (43%, Signatory) very fruity again, with quite some smoke this time. Simple, fresh and clean. Very little wood influence: an excellent summer Islayer. 85 points . Caol Ila 10 yo (46%, Douglas Laing Premier Barrel, 301 bottles) Wow, what a bottle! The Laings sure will never win an award at the World Design Competition, but who cares? a bit sweetish, apple juice again, white pepper… Slightly ‘dirty’. Gets quite dry, with some over infused tea… Okay, 80 points for the more than funny bottle! Caol Ila 10 yo 1993/2003 (57.3%, Hart Bros, cask #6996)
