Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

a rather bitter, rubbery and milky start, on huge notes of crushed leaves, raw propolis, manure and rubber bands. Gets then very milky and porridgy, with also quite some cheap perfume (yes, lavender). Immature and hard to enjoy on the nose, I’m afraid

restaurant Palate

ah, this is a little better although it’s still bitter and rubbery at the attack, as well as very mashy. We do have these perfumy notes as well (lavender). Develops on pineapple sweets, crystallised oranges, notes of tequila… Well… Rather long but cardboardy (and waxy) finish, with also something like ginger tonic and heavily hopped beer. Ahem... 67 points . October 26, 2006 TASTING – TWO NEW ‘BELGIAN’ CAOL ILAS Caol Ila 1979/2006 (57.4%, Taste Still, cask #2796, 227 bottles)
