Nose : refined and delicate. At once smoky, ashy, maritime (sea spray), candied (lemon), vanilla-led and medicinal (mustard seed), the aromatic profile immediately immerses us in the world of Caol Ila. With aeration, notes of verbena, malted barley, camphor and smoked fish complete this remarkably bright aromatic tableau.

Palate : elegant and subtle. At once tangy (grapefruit), juicy (pear, plum) and herbal (cut hay, alfalfa), the palate reveals a peat that has become increasingly oily. Maritime and immersed in an ever smokier atmosphere, the end of the palate is packed with mineral salts and iodine-rich flavours (shellfish, oysters).

Overall : elegant and dynamic. Ashy (soot, charcoal), liquorice-like and chocolatey, it also reveals savoury, animal notes (bacon). Gradually, citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon) refresh a vibrant aftertaste. On the retro-olfaction, Louise Bonne pears release their rich juice across the palate. The dry extracts left in the empty glass are intensely smoky, rooty (gentian) and malty.
