Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 벗이 27년의 시간을 견디며 만든 결과가 짙은 호박빛과 깊은 향으로 또렷이 드러난다. 싱글 캐스크 컬렉션이 풀어낸 카올 일라 1983은 51.5도의 카스크 스트렝스로 셰리와 피트의 단단한 결합을 곱게 풀어낸다. 향은 자두잼과 옅은 피트 스모크, 마른 무화과. 입에서는 다크 초콜릿과 훈제 견과, 가벼운 후추가 두꺼운 질감으로 입천장을 천천히 덮는다. 아일라의 짭조름한 미네랄이 여운에 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
much more discreet than David Stirk’s despite the sherry. Strange… Touches of dried oranges and leather but not much more… It’s also a wee bit spirity… Maybe water is really needed? Hey, wait, now it comes out, all it needed was time. It’s quite superb, with some medicinal notes mingled with dried fruits and quite some fresh mint… Also whiffs of old books, which I always like (ha, no such things with the bloody iPads and Kindles, eh!) With water: more animal notes, mushrooms, well-aged jamon iberico (whatever), coffee… Wonderful
restaurant Palate
less lazy than with the nose and certainly more citrusy, with rather less sherry influence. Herbs, liquorice, orange drops, ashes and marmalade. Touches of curry and mustard on the tip of your tongue. Another excellent one, and entertaining at that. With water: fantastic now! Rich yet elegant, very ‘full’, nervous, sweet but not too much… Nutshell: peppered peated oranges (wot?)
timer Finish
long, in keeping with the attack
