Martine Nouet
90- Nose
- Genuine Caol Ila. Creosote, lobster pot, wet sand. Big thick smoke. White pepper. With water, lime and smoked meat.
- Palate
- Sweet, despite strength. Lovely malty feel.
- Finish
- Long, warm, lingering, with lots of liquorice coming through.
- Comment
- What you nose is what you get. A beautiful uncompromising version of Caol Ila. More enjoyable when neat.
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Smoked ham/salami, then perfumed peat, coal bunker. Like the burnt grass at the edge of a campfire with slightly damp socks drying beside it.
- Palate
- Dry and sooty offset by a slightly oily texture and sweet soft fruits. Has complexity.
- Finish
- Short, crisp, smoky. Smoked fish.
- Comment
- A good example of how peaty drams need a balance of sweetness. Another Caol Ila cracker.
