Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

hmm… A little lumpish at first, slightly cardboardy and curiously shy… Grass, walnut skins, linseed oil… This baby will need time! After a few minutes: more tar, pine sap, leather grease… Oh well, let's use a powerful weapon: water. So, with water: whoosh! It became ultra-austere, all on seaweed and gravels/pebbles. Some brine as well

restaurant Palate

quicker in action. Salty, resinous, tarry and very leafy/rooty, thicker and bigger than most other old Caol Ilas I could try. Very nice mint and lemon combination supporting the whole, but it gets then a little bitter (strong tea). With water: back to life. More lemon, brine, kippers, almonds and grapefruits

timer Finish

medium long, very briny
