Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1984년 증류된 카올 일라의 부드러운 피트 연기와 바닷내음, 레몬의 산뜻함이 먼저 감지된다. 35년의 긴 숙성이 거친 스모크를 다듬어 팰럿에서 왁스 같은 질감과 옅은 오크, 소금기가 단단한 구조감으로 발전한다. 47.5도의 도수는 노쇠한 피트를 오히려 정갈하게 전하고, 피니시는 은은한 연기와 미네랄이 길게 남는다. 잘 숙성된 아일라 몰트의 균형이 또렷하게 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
obviously zero vinous impact, one hundred percent malty and peaty barley, plus a myriad of micro-aromas, focusing on oils (sesame, sunflower, grape pips) and white, yellow, and green fruits. Gooseberries, greengages, yellow melon, nectarines… then buttery croissants and shortbread, plain or lemon, and candle wax. There's a certain austere beauty here
restaurant Palate
boom, the peat leaps out, with lemon and seawater. This displays the main characteristic of Caol Ila, as we said and wrote before, in our opinion, this baby could just as well be 15 or 25 years old. Or 45. A petrolic and Riesling-like side that is highly pleasing (polish, rhubarb)
timer Finish
medium length but perfect precision. Touches of grapefruit, tar, shellfish… And honey and mead in the aftertaste. The nectar of the gods
