Tasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
again not very expressive, and quite austere. Young and not very complex. Peat, a little pepper, and wood's smoke
restaurant Palate
nice attack, strong and bold. Much better than the nose. Rich, lots of peat and fruit (apple), much nicer, really in the Ardbeg style. Ratings: OH: 88 points, SV, 88 points . My guesses: 1. Ardbeg, 2. Caol Ila, 3. Laphroaig Comments by Olivier: Really enjoyable… palate is superior to the nose, good finish, even though the alcohol doesn’t seem that high. Ardbeg, Laphroaig Answer by Johannes: The horrible truth about Blind #23: Caol Ila 9 yo 1992/2002 (43%, Cooper’s Choice) . That’s right! Nice little surprise, eh? I conservatively scored it at 82 points on my first tasting but that’s likely to go up. I knew you’d like this. Blind #24
