Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
fresh fabrics, linens, pure sea air, lemon peel, chalk and many mineral qualities such as flints and beach pebbles. A rather more elegant and chiselled style of Caol Ila with a pretty direct and brittle minerality. Some fragrant notes of bath salts and dried herbs. With water: petrol cut with seawater. Smoky grist, cooling wort and other pretty raw, unvarnished distillery aromas. A rather coarse coastal edge with a little lemongrass
restaurant Palate
rather dry, salty, autolytic and getting increasingly bready and rich with a few yeasty notes underneath. Very good! Some notes of kippers and brine. With water: a tad sootier and moving towards a greasier peat profile. Boiler smoke, tar and more kippery notes. Some oily smoked mackerel with black pepper as well
timer Finish
long, herbal, nicely oily, sooty and with a some notes of hessian and seawater
