향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 요란하지 않게 시작하지만 곧 두꺼운 훈연이 밀고 들어온다. 탄 성냥과 고무, 돌과 재가 늘어선 뒤에 마지팬과 송진, 훈제 차의 냄새가 겹쳐 든다. 59.5도를 한 모금 머금으면 첫 몸집은 담담하다가 훈제 허브와 잎사귀의 쌉쌀함으로 커진다. 1968년 증류액을 1987년에 캐스크 스트렝스로 담은 이 보틀링은 삼킨 뒤 진한 차 같은 마른 맛을 남긴다.

it doesn’t start wildly but there’s presence indeed. Very smoky, peaty and rather rubbery (rubber bands), with quite some burnt matchsticks, ashes, stones and hints of marzipan, almond milk, a little resin and maybe faint hints of new plastic. Whiffs of smoked tea, humus, forest after the rain… Very little fruity notes if any. A very clean, honest and uncomplicated Caol Ila, with quite some oomph at just 40% not as rough as expected but typically uncomplicated and compact. Peat, smoke, ashes, stones, a little lemon juice and a dash of pepper and that’s it, ite Missa est. Ah, yes, also whiffs of fermenting hay and maybe a little manure. A flawless youngster that will neither make you scratch your head, nor frown

there’s maybe a little lack of body right at the attack but it does grow bolder after that. Smoked herbs, resins, herbal teas, something very leafy with a nice bitterness but always quite some freshness. Something that really makes me think of some (good) gins. A poolside Caol Ila? Quite some peat but again, very little fruits and almost no sweetness, which may be good news here. We have also an unexpectedly long finish, on marzipan and cold, un-sugared strong tea. Again, a good one for next summer – on ice? 82 points . Caol Ila ‘Very Young’ (59.4%, Whisky-Doris, 2006) This one is bottled for German online retailer whisky-doris.de. Previous bottlings were very good, I thought quite oily, with lots of sweetness now, probably from the alcohol. Astonishingly drinkable at such high strength. Develops on grapefruits, lemon skins and seeds, peat of course… Something bitterly vegetal (endives), quite some liquorice, something rooty… Exactly the same
