Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

we're really in old apple territory here, with cold ash, paraffin, shoe polish, lapsang souchong, and a very moderate amount of Italian raisins. With water: the style remains consistent, just with a bit more beeswax

restaurant Palate

yes, this works quite well, no clashes, but there's an old walnut wine and candle smoke character. With water: Caol Ila wins the fight and emerges first, like Daryl Hannah in 'Splash'. The fact is, the walnut aspect of Marsala pairs nicely with Caol Ila

timer Finish

the same, walnuts, smoke, leather…
