Tasting Notes

Colour

pale white wine

air Nose

even tighter! Damp chalk, lime juice, wee flat oysters, unripe gooseberries and bandages. It's that sharp that even the smoke doesn't quite get through at this stage. With water: crushed chalk and scoria. It's even a little basaltic

restaurant Palate

a little newmakey but since Caol Ila's a perfect distillate, we shan't file a complaint. Lemon juice, granny smith, a touch of menthol, oysters and seawater, ashes. With water: I may have used this around two hundred times already, but I'll say 'smoked limoncello'. Gets really rounder and sweeter after water's been added, perhaps a wee tad simplistic now

timer Finish

long, with nots of pear syrup that we weren't expecting. Us, not them. Lemon juice in the aftertaste
