Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 35년을 보낸 긴 숙성이 카올 아일라의 연기를 한껏 부드럽게 누그러뜨렸다. 향은 마른 과일과 잔잔한 토탄 연기, 옅은 소금기가 우아하게 어우러진다. 51.4도의 입은 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 그을린 보리와 꿀, 가벼운 향신료를 풀어낸다. 오랜 리필 셰리가 만든 옅은 호박빛 아래 여운에는 은은한 연기와 과실이 길게 이어진다.

air Nose
I'm starting to think maybe we should just have an aroma called 'old Caol Ila smell'. This wonderful mix of fragrant smoked teas, camphor, seaweed, cough medicines and soft, wispy puffs of peat smoke. Exquisite. Lovely notes of lapsing souchong, umami paste, pickled ginger, peppercorns in brine and lemon liqueur. With water: brighter, fresher, more citric, more crisply smoky and with notes of toasted fennel seed, lanolin, camphor and smoked olive oil. Just beautiful
restaurant Palate
herbal and wonderfully syrupy in texture. With many subtle suggestions of gorse, wormwood, aniseed, cough medicines, old Chartreuse, lemon rind, bergamot and this beautifully fragrant, heather-centric smokiness. With water: indeed it awakens just the right amount and develops a firmer edge on the palate, more salty, a little more assertive peat smoke and flavours of mixed herbs, umami and green olive with the softest natural tar note
timer Finish
a long fade of soft peat smoke, medicines, seashore freshness, sandalwood, gorse and herbal teas
