Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

oh this is something else, sharper, more brutal, with more brine, seawater, beach sand, green grapefruits, mud, fermenting stuff, perhaps artichokes… Not for your Land Rover, rather for your Unimog! With water: barley, peat smoke, mud, graphite oil. Just perfect

restaurant Palate

south-shore-ish, as they say. Big Caol Ila, much more ‘imprecise’ than others, and yet perhaps more interesting, with smoked fudge and buttered smoked tea. Really not your average middle-aged Caol Ila. With water: smoky and almost tarry, ala young Port Ellen. Burned tyres

timer Finish

long, on, wait, smoky fudge?
