Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
sherry plus peat is a hit or miss combination. This would rather be hit, but that’s no surprise, since W&M have already had quite a few great oloroso-ed Caol Ilas. So, roasted nuts, bitter chocolate, gunpowder (not in a sulphury way at all), old coal stove, and just ‘a gun’. With water: whacky, in a great way. Swiss cheese, Havana cigars, soot
restaurant Palate
oh, excellent! It hasn’t lost its sharpish peatiness, but it’s gained this leathery chocolatiness from the sherry. It’s also got citrus and salt, all for the better. With water: perfect. Smoky hot chocolate and orange liqueur
timer Finish
medium to long, with added notes of benzine and burnt cigars. Herbal liqueur in the aftertaste. There, Unicum!
