향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
노즈는 정제된 인상이 강하다. 둥글게 다듬어진 피트 위로 익힌 사과의 단 향이 얹히며 균형이 단단하다. 팰럿은 부드러움이 지나칠 만큼 매끄럽게 흐르고 배와 딸기잼 같은 익은 과일, 옅은 열대 과일이 차례로 발전한다. 43도라는 도수가 훈연의 날을 충분히 눌러 놓았다. 피니시는 중간 이상 길이로 시간이 지날수록 달아진다. 아일라 남부 몰트를 연상시키는 마무리가 이 보틀링의 특징이다.

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
timer 피니시
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…
