향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
부싯돌 같은 미네랄로 출발한 노즈는 곧 마른 건포도와 비터 초콜릿의 셰리 뉘앙스로 발전한다. 27년이라는 숙성 기간답게 장뇌와 요오드, 보이차의 뉘앙스가 연기와 충돌하지 않고 겹쳐진다. 58.1도의 팰럿은 기름지고 크리미하며 훈연된 복숭아와 살구의 단맛이 밀도 있게 이어진다. 향은 건조한 쪽, 입은 단맛 쪽으로 기울어 두 단계의 성격이 갈린다. 피니시는 길고 후추와 단 과실이 함께 남는다.

this is very different, there’s quite some sherry in there. Starts on lots of flint stones, then we have the sherry itself (quite dry, Smyrna raisins and bitter chocolate) mingling with a rather massive smokiness and hints of camphor and iodine. Another case where sherry and peat are really holding hands and don’t fight each other. Very elegant I must say, with also a little mint coming through after a while. Also notes of pu-erh tea, which is always good news, and a discrete rubber. With water: it gets wilder, much more farmy and peaty, the sherry sort of beating a retreat – to the point where it almost smells like bourbon-matured Caol Ila. Very interesting and very ‘funny’
restaurant 맛 (팔레트)
powerful, probably more sherried than on the nose, creamy, oily, almost ‘spoonable’. It somewhat reminds me of some Sauternes-finished peat monsters – the few very good ones, that is. (No, I’m not suggesting you can achieve the same results generally speaking!) With water: not a lot of difference I must say. Smoked and peppered sweet fruits (yellow peaches, apricots, hints of pineapples). Always quite sweet, especially at the rather long finish. Classy stuff even if there’s probably a little more happening on the (dry) nose than on the (sweet) palate. An unusual but effective ‘partnership’ between Caol Ila and the sherry. 90 points . Caol Ila 27 yo 1979/2006 (58.1%, JWWW Old Train Line, cask #2442, 200 bottles)
