Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 호박빛이 잔 속에 맑게 어린다. 리필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 25년을 보낸 카올 일라 1984는 오랜 숙성으로 둥글어진 아일라의 연기를 보여준다. 바다 내음과 레몬, 은은한 베이컨 훈연이 코끝에 부드럽게 번진다. 55.2도의 도수는 매끄러운 질감으로 입안을 채우며 올리브 오일 같은 기름짐과 후추, 옅은 단맛을 드러낸다. 사반세기가 빚은 끝맛은 잔잔한 재와 미네랄을 남기며 길고 우아하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
exactly the DT, minus the sweetness. More earthy tones, damp earth, mushrooms, seaweed, a little mint… This one’s maybe a little more medicinal than other Caol Ilas, and certainly very fresh at 25 or 26 years of age. With water: much more width and much more depth than in the sister cask. Old herbal liqueurs, humus, cough medicine, then a little butterscotch… Pack of lozenges… Even hints of tropical fruits (passion)… Very nice complexity
restaurant Palate
bigger than the DT and much, much earthier. Quite some cinchona, ginger tonic, green tea, strong liquorice… It’s also much more medicinal and bitter. Heavily infused green tea. Quite a beast! With water: it became as meek as a lamb (almost), rounder, smoother, with the liquorice remaining in the background, together with wee touches of cumin. Really great now, very full, very satisfying
timer Finish
long, on the same flavours, maybe a tad more medicinal again
