Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
huge whiffs of vanilla at first nosing, which is rather unusual. They almost block the spirit here, at least for a few seconds. Then we get the trademark light peatiness and all the smoky and coastal jazz as well as notes of olive oil. If you never tried a heavily vanilled yet clean and fresh Caol Ila, this one is for you. Pleasant medicinal notes coming through after a while
restaurant Palate
we’re not far from the 1996 of course but this one is a tad more organic, salty and oomphy. There’s a little more lemon too, as well as apple peelings, the whole being globally wilder than the 1996. No big vanilla on the palate
timer Finish
long, with a good, rather big peatiness and hints of plain seawater
