Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s a rather PXed sherry than palo, with this extra sweetness and roundness, but a pulsating peaty smoke is soon to take control. Never understood all the friends that keep claiming that Caol Ila is ‘lightly peated’. Well, only the unpeated CI is lightly peated if you ask me. After three minutes, we’re having a pure coastal peater, with iodine, kelp, oysters, and mercurochrome. Adios sherry! With water: butterscotch and crystallised ginger
restaurant Palate
very lovely, and indeed very lightly sherried, it’s rather the European oak that we’re noticing, with this rather loud spiciness. Green pepper, nutmeg, ginger, juniper… With water: fine. Caraway and cloves, green spices
timer Finish
long, a tad meaty. More juniper, cloves… Butterscotch and Tabasco in the aftertaste
