Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
rather rounder than the Orcines, while that would be the rechar part of the process. Having said that, no Caolilaness was lost, on the contrary, there's more brine and ashes than in a blend of brine and ashes. Whiffs of Ikea wood too, plywood, paint thinner, something oh-so slightly bacterial… Did they dechar/rechar some Hampden casks? …
restaurant Palate
my how good is this? It is a more resinous Caol Ila, with notes of pencil eraser, surely bacon, gum Arabic, smoked salmon… Excellent. It just goes down too well at 46%. I'm sure people would drink less when everything would be bottled at 60% vol. or more!
