향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
잔을 흔들자마자 코를 가져가면 축축한 건초와 훈제 햄이 먼저 밀려든다. 카올 일라 1993년 증류액이 버번 호그스헤드에서 10년을 보낸 뒤에도 60.4도의 기세는 조금도 꺾이지 않는다. 마른 해초와 발사믹의 시큼함을 지나면 태운 너도밤나무 연기가 자리를 넓힌다. 한 모금을 머금으면 타임과 월계수잎 같은 마른 허브가 짜게 번지고 감초 뿌리의 쓴맛이 혀뿌리를 붙든다. 삼킨 뒤에도 그 쌉쌀함은 물러설 기미 없이 길게 버틴다.

very powerful as expected, with some big, bold farmy notes. Lots of manure, wet hay… Getting then astonishingly meaty for a Coal Ila, mainly on smoked ham. Also dry seaweed, balsamic vinegar… It then calms down, switching to caramel sauce and fresh oranges, before it gets more ‘frankly’ smoky, peaty, on burning beech, with also a little apple juice and whiffs of paraffin and diesel oil. Complex, with a long development. I like it very much
restaurant 맛 (팔레트)
very strong and extremely salty and herbal. Ouch, what a beast! Lots of dried herbs (thyme, parsley, bay leaf). Very little sweetness if any. It gets very bitter (chlorophyll, propolis, herb liqueurs like Jägermeister). Lots of liquorice roots as well, tea… Highly reduced meat sauce. It reminds me the strange stuff we were used to (forced to) drink when I was a boy scout. Like coffee plus mustard plus salt. You never forget that. Anyway, let’s add a few drops of water now, perhaps it’ll become ‘easier’. Hmmm, no, it gets just a bit duller but there’s no significant improvement. The finish is very long but, you guessed it, very bitter and quite mustardy. Well, it’s note an easy one, that’s for sure. For lovers of extreme malts only – but the nose was a thrill. 84 points . Caol Ila 1993/2005 (59.9%, Adelphi, cask #6779)
