Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 옅은 금빛이 잔 속에 투명하게 잠겨 있다. 버번 호그스헤드에서 27년을 보낸 1982년 카올 일라는 오랜 숙성으로 둥글어진 피트 연기와 잘 익은 배, 바닷소금의 향을 우아하게 피워 올린다. 한 모금 머금으면 그을린 보리와 레몬, 매끄러운 오일리함이 입안을 채우고 62.4도가 강하게 밀어붙인다. 여운에는 옅은 재와 짭짤한 미네랄, 시트러스가 길게 이어지며 노숙성 카올 일라의 우아한 스모크를 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
deep and brimming with this sense of coiled sinew and power. Wonderfully ‘wet’ notes of algae, frothy kelp, lemon slices in green tea, sandalwood, tar extract, fir liqueur and wisp peat smoke. Things like pickled capers, hessian and fresh grapefruit. Beautiful and deeply evocative. With water: becomes more fragrant. Lovely notes of fresh linens, drifting peat smoke, carbolic soap, wintergreen and various soft medicines
restaurant Palate
hugely powerful! Smoked paprika with dried seaweed, miso, tar, petrol, herbal mouthwash, petroleum jelly, dried tarragon, vapour rubs and iodine. Immense, punchy and wonderfully thick! With water: becomes softer but at the same time far thicker in texture, this sense of mouth-coating oiliness but with gentle flavours of lemon peel, chamomile and green teas, a waxy peatiness and more soft tarry and hessian notes
timer Finish
long, thickly oily, tarry, peaty and almost greasy with these notes of medical embrocations and smoked cooking oils
