Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
oh this is unusual, grassier, very citric indeed, almost fizzy for a few seconds, before the expected ultra-clean briny, ashy and lemony notes take over. It’ll always remain very citrusy indeed, between lemons and grapefruits. Much sharper than the OB, pleasantly so. Little oak influence, which goes well with Caol Ila’s chiselled profile
restaurant Palate
right on smoky salted lemon juice. Or when narrowness is an asset. Nice blade!
timer Finish
quite long, zesty, greatly sharp, with a slightly sweeter aftertaste (icing sugar, fructose) despite a noticeable saltiness
