Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

oh this is unusual, grassier, very citric indeed, almost fizzy for a few seconds, before the expected ultra-clean briny, ashy and lemony notes take over. It’ll always remain very citrusy indeed, between lemons and grapefruits. Much sharper than the OB, pleasantly so. Little oak influence, which goes well with Caol Ila’s chiselled profile

restaurant Palate

right on smoky salted lemon juice. Or when narrowness is an asset. Nice blade!

timer Finish

quite long, zesty, greatly sharp, with a slightly sweeter aftertaste (icing sugar, fructose) despite a noticeable saltiness
