Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
bright straw
air Nose
so far all feels quite comfortable and classical with this modern ashy smokiness, citrus juices seawater and a surprisingly floral side that brings to mind gorse flower, heather and pollen. Very attractive and rather elegant. With water: crushed seashells, dried seaweed, beach sand and rockpools. A more fragrant and nicely coastal example I would say
restaurant Palate
I couldn't tell you if there was much influence from the wine case, it's still a pretty straight Caol Ila. Lots of pickling malt vinegar, chip fat, green peppercorns in brine, anchovy paste and things like pickled tarragon and lemon juice on oysters. Very coastal and bright. With water: anchovies again, smoked olive oil, sandalwood, a little hessian and wee sooty and inky touches
timer Finish
long, getting grassier now, on lemongrass and preserved lemons with some capers and green olive notes coming though in the aftertaste
