향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
짚빛이 잔 안에서 거칠게 흔들린다. 향은 농가의 두엄과 젖은 건초로 시작해 훈제 햄의 육향과 마른 해초, 발사믹의 신맛으로 번지고 마지막에는 너도밤나무를 태우는 연기와 파라핀이 올라온다. 칠 년의 숙성과 60.2도의 도수는 입안에서 소금과 허브를 앞세워 타임과 월계수, 감초 뿌리의 쓴맛을 밀어낸다. 여운은 아주 길고 쌉쌀하며 진하게 졸인 육수 같은 잔상이 남는다.

very powerful as expected, with some big, bold farmy notes. Lots of manure, wet hay… Getting then astonishingly meaty for a Coal Ila, mainly on smoked ham. Also dry seaweed, balsamic vinegar… It then calms down, switching to caramel sauce and fresh oranges, before it gets more ‘frankly’ smoky, peaty, on burning beech, with also a little apple juice and whiffs of paraffin and diesel oil. Complex, with a long development. I like it very much
restaurant 맛 (팔레트)
very strong and extremely salty and herbal. Ouch, what a beast! Lots of dried herbs (thyme, parsley, bay leaf). Very little sweetness if any. It gets very bitter (chlorophyll, propolis, herb liqueurs like Jägermeister). Lots of liquorice roots as well, tea… Highly reduced meat sauce. It reminds me the strange stuff we were used to (forced to) drink when I was a boy scout. Like coffee plus mustard plus salt. You never forget that. Anyway, let’s add a few drops of water now, perhaps it’ll become ‘easier’. Hmmm, no, it gets just a bit duller but there’s no significant improvement. The finish is very long but, you guessed it, very bitter and quite mustardy. Well, it’s note an easy one, that’s for sure. For lovers of extreme malts only – but the nose was a thrill. 84 points . Caol Ila 1993/2005 (59.9%, Adelphi, cask #6779)
