Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에 부드럽게 비친다. 잔을 가까이 하면 카올일라 특유의 바다 안개와 마른 해초, 옅은 훈연이 가장 먼저 다가오고 그 뒤로 레몬 껍질과 흰 꽃의 향이 따라붙는다. 한 모금이 입을 채우면 56.2도의 도수가 짭조름한 미네랄과 약한 의약품 같은 페놀을 입천장 전체로 밀어 올린다. 14년이라는 짧지 않은 숙성이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.

air Nose
it’s funny how sherry will change Caol Ila’s style, although I’m not familiar with 1993. It gives it a ‘Laphroaigness’, that is to say something more medicinal, between bandages and camphor, plus touches of rubber on top of all that. Other than that, it’s pretty sweet and fruity, with ripe plums and apricots. Sultanas. With water: even more medicinal and a little more costal (oysters). Less sweetness but there’s a feeling of barbecued marshmallows (don’t shoot!)
restaurant Palate
oh yes this is unusual. Creamier, oilier, fattier than the usual CIs, with some honey and maple syrup that do go well with the peat. Wheelbarrows of marzipan, citrons, brown sugar… With water: truly excellent now. More vanilla, plums, maple syrup… It’s as if the sherry cask behaved like a bourbon barrel at this point
timer Finish
long and much, much saltier
