향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
옅은 호박빛이 잔 속에 부드럽게 비친다. 향은 다듬어진 피트 연기 위에 익힌 사과의 둥근 단맛이 얹혀 균형이 곱다. 열 해만 지난 원액인데도 거친 구석이 잘 정리되어 있다. 43도의 입은 매끄럽게 미끄러지며 배와 딸기잼을 떠올리게 하는 익은 과실의 맛을 내놓고, 그 아래 피트가 잔잔히 깔린다. 얇게 스치는 열대 과일의 향이 여운을 넓혀준다. 마무리는 중간 이상으로 길고 시간이 갈수록 단맛이 더 또렷해진다.

very nice and refined. Beautiful peat, very round and fruity (cooked apple), beautiful balance
restaurant 맛 (팔레트)
great roundness and balance, just a little too 'smooth'. Perhaps this bottle was open since a long time. Peat, pear, cooked fruit (strawberry jam). Hints of exotic fruit

medium to long - gets sweeter with time. Really in the Laphroaig style. Ratings: OH:88 points, SV: 88 points. My guesses: 1. Laphroaig, 2. Bowmore, 3. Caol Ila. Comments by Olivier: I liked a lot the palate of this whisky. Honest Laphroaig, good Bowmore. Answer by Johannes: The horrible truth about Blind #24: Caol Ila 10 yo 1988/1999 (43%, Hart Brothers) . Well, this was my favourite of the bunch. My score for the first dram was 84 points, but I’ll have to investigate further. Bottle was opened 3 months ago. So, fairly interesting results, eh? I’ve tried to do a fairly straight ‘build-up’ with this flight and I wanted to show some different sides of Caol Ila. Since you picked a different first guess each time I think that part of my evil masterplan has succeeded ;-) (Rest assured that most of the other flights will be more varied.) Okay, eight different Bowmores are now on the table. Different? Well, in theory, yes, but… Bowmore 14 yo 1989 (46%, Whisky Galore) Let’s start with this brand new bottling by Duncan Taylor. Most of the ‘Whisky Galore’ malts we already had were quite good, and a Caol Ila even got a Silver Medal during our 2003 Awards. To be honest, several ‘independent’ young Bowmores are really ‘middle-of-the-roadish’, but we expect quite a lot from this one. Let’s check it out…
