Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
we find the eternal youth of old Caol Ilas, starting with apple, putty, and fresh baguette. Then a bit of white wine (Chardonnay – they might soon plant some on Islay, even though the rainfall is rather excessive, ha). After that, we begin to find vegetable broth, shellfish, a few little pink olives, and a bit of shoe polish. Very lovely, not tired in the slightest. The peat is gentle
restaurant Palate
again, it starts a bit rough, young, almost brutal (green pepper, brine), but then the softness sets in, with touches of oil paint, linseed oil, langoustines, crabs, and oysters, followed by a bit of lemon and white apple. Indeed, the peat here is of medium strength
timer Finish
quite long, with that slightly rustic character lingering in the background, if you will. It has retained some of its youth. Apart from that, apple, lemon, and finally the proverbial ashes, along with touches of varnish and leather
