Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 북동 해안의 카올 일라가 리필 호그스헤드에서 18년을 보낸 소사이어티 보틀링이다. 바다를 마주한 증류소답게 맑은 금빛 위로 해풍이 감돈다. 향에서는 토탄 연기와 레몬, 갯내음의 짭조름함이 산뜻하게 어우러진다. 입에서는 57.4도의 힘이 잿빛 훈연과 시트러스, 올리브의 짠맛으로 번진다. 여운은 바닷가의 연기와 미네랄이 깔끔하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
bingo-ish. I mean, balance is found, which is quite an achievement, and the peat plus sherry combo creates this very peculiar kind of chocolaty profile that you cannot find in, well, chocolate. A leathery, tobacco-like kind of chocolate. With water: more cigars, hay and bitter chocolate
restaurant Palate
once again, this works. I don't know if this is because the excellent bottlers are Italian, but I find notes of maraschino and amaretto. Must be me... The peat is big! With water: yes. Smoother, perfectly balanced, cigary, with drops of kirsch and always amaretto and maraschino. In the background, oysters with a drop of tabasco
timer Finish
long, peaty, chocolaty and, bizarrely, kind of clean and fresh, which is always welcome at this stage
