Official tasting notes
Nose: Lots of aniseed, salted liquorice, wormwood, and wintergreen. A feeling of many ointments, medicines, and root extracts. Overlaid with a sweet and thick peat smoke.
Palate: a seriously big and mouth-coating example of Caol Ila. More industrial aspects of
coal tar soap, boiler smoke and engine oil mix with natural tar extracts, fir wood resins and
cured meats. Still wonderfully on aniseed and smoked fennel.
Finish: long, very tarry, sweetly medicinal, oily, and full of leathery peat smoke, ointments,
and herbal liqueurs.”.
