Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
fresher and more vibrant than the ‘exclusive’, with much more citrusy notes, including tangerines, grapefruits and plain lemons. Gets maybe just a tad sourish/acidic but that adds to this one’s particularities. More and more on a plate of lemon-sprinkled oysters. Medium peatiness. With water: superb. A working kiln on Islay (not at Caol Ila, obviously), sheep, seawater, old leather, Havana cigars… Great nose! Much less lemon when reduced
restaurant Palate
perfect attack, very typical, extremely well balanced. Half-rounded like some older CIs can be but getting very lemony once again, which is quite beautiful. Gets sharper and sharper, beautifully so. With water: excellent. Everything is there in the mix, peat, spices, coatal elements, fruits (dried), spices… And lemons
timer Finish
long, in the same vein. Classy
