향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
리필 호그스헤드에서 25년을 보냈지만 노즈는 우드보다 훈연이 앞선다. 연기와 피트, 고무줄 냄새가 먼저 나오고 태운 성냥과 재, 돌의 미네랄이 이어지며 마지팬과 아몬드 밀크가 가장자리를 채운다. 과실 향은 거의 없다. 팰럿은 초반에 몸집이 다소 가볍지만 곧 힘을 얻어 훈제 허브와 수지, 잎사귀의 쌉쌀함으로 확장된다. 피니시는 예상보다 길게 이어지며 마지팬과 설탕 없는 진한 차의 결이 남는다. 정직하고 간결한 구성이다.

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
