Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

rounder and fruitier, with notes of, say, medicinal bananas? Old white wine? Typically old Caol Ila, probably subtler than today’s drops, and certainly less smoky. Some kind of jelly beans. It’s lovely, but it’s not ‘immediate’

restaurant Palate

so funny! And whacky! It’s big, extremely lemony and zesty, with some lemongrass, unripe gooseberries, then some hessian, graphite, a feeling of gravel… The whole’s a tad shaky, perhaps, less well-defined than modern bottlings, but it’s got some dazzling sparks of medicinalness (come on!) Almond oil and lemons, more hessian, a touch of chalk, some bitter herbs, peels and leaves… I’d have thought it would be an easy dram – it’s not

timer Finish

the hardest part. Everything got a little bitter, and unless you’re willing to intellectualise your whisky, it’s become difficult. All right, a little too bitter
