Avaliação e degustação


Experimentado em 23/09/2015

Aparência:

Clear, pale-mid golden amber.

Aroma:

Meaty, almost mezcal-like smokiness. Mineraly pavement (sidewalk) after rain. More peaty with water but this knocks back the smokiness. Faint cardamom spice and fresh coriander.

Sabor:

Dried fruit and fading embers with faint smokiness. Water amplifies fruit and vanilla with meaty underlying smoky peat.

Aftertaste:

Fresh and fruity finish.

No geral:

Described as being “unpeated”, the grain may have been peat free but perhaps due to the water this Caol Ila has a delicate smoky peat character. One of my favourite ever Caol Ila bottlings. Fantastic value for money.
