Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
green, grassy and maritime. Sea breeze, lemons, then quince jelly and vanilla crème. Not too wild. Gets greener and lemonier with time. Very sharp. Not too different from the 14yo by the same bottler. With water: even closer, wet wool, kelp on the beach and soaked grains. Good porridge (because we’ve had really terrible ones!)
restaurant Palate
extremely lemony. Amazingly lemony. And grapefruits. With water: orange sweets, something like Turkish delights. Not bad at all but not the best by the bottler I think (we’ll have the latest version in the coming series). 79 points. Caol Ila 14 yo (64.7%, Gordon & MacPhail for Sestante, circa 1978) So you were thinking we’d rush this oldie? C’mon! It’s from the old Caol Ila distillery, so let’s take our time
