향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
창백한 볏짚빛이 잔에 얕게 깔린다. 1992년 원액을 호그스헤드에서 12년 재운 이 보틀링은 또래보다 한결 신선하다. 향은 감초와 연기가 앞서고 어부의 그물 같은 짠 내음, 뒤이어 약재의 기운이 라프로익을 떠올리게 한다. 50도의 입은 용담주 같은 흙내와 진한 녹차의 쓴맛으로 열려 사과 껍질의 산미로 둥글어진다. 여운은 길고 향신료와 후추가 또렷이 깃들어 있다.

very typical, maybe even fresher than usual. Beautiful liquorice and smoke plus whiffs of fisherman’s nest. There’s lots of young indie Caol Ilas in the market and some are sometimes a little boring (too similar to justify bottling as a single cask, even if they’re above average) but this one is really great. Development: peatier and rather more medicinal than the usual young Caol Ilas in fact, more like a Laphroaig

enjoyable attack on gentian spirit, very earthy, with a very pleasant bitterness (strong green tea). Also apple skin… Less peaty than on the nose but it gets beautifully rounded after a little time, despite the heavy attack. Long and very pleasant finish, spicy and peppery. 89 points . Plus these very good, but very similar recent Caol Ilas – no need to write extensive tasting notes, they are all more or less the same… Caol Ila 12 yo 1992/2005 (50%, Douglas Laing Old Malt Cask 388 bottles) Simple but totally flawless. Warming. 85 points . Caol Ila 15 yo 1990/2005 (55%, Wilson & Morgan, casks #4709/4710, 600 bottles) Just a little aromatically weak in the finish but otherwise excellent. 85 points Caol Ila 15 yo 1991/2006 (56,7%, Dewar Rattray, bourbon C#743, 315 bottles) Same. All these Caol Ilas are extremely similar but excellent. 85 points Caol Ila 1996/2006 (57%, Berry Bros.) Same as others, i.e. very good. 85 points . Caol Ila 1994/2005 (58,2%, G&M Cask, First fill sherry butts #12423 & 12424) The sherry brings an extra-dimension. Slight rubber on the palate. Too bad, it would have made it to 90 points. 84 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: Blind Melon were different, too bad they happened to split up after a rather somber route and the death of their leader. But let's have Mouthful of cavities.mp3 and St Andrew's Hall.mp3 today and then, please buy their music...
