But we're cursed! What’s this, 64% ABV at twenty-six years of age? Well, we remember a sublime old Caol Ila from The Golden Cask that we tasted recently. So, hope remains very much alive. Colour: gold. Nose: of course. Old copper, polishes, beeswax, old white wines, mead, vanilla cakes, pears poached in Sauternes, all at 64% ABV. Blimey. With water: the pear stays at the forefront. Simply Williams pear eau-de-vie. Mouth (neat): a bit crazy, chemical, acidic, herbaceous, improbable. I think it needs water, pronto. With water: it flounders a bit, between rubber and pear, then grapefruits, both juice and zest. Finish: very long, more herbaceous, and more on zests. The rubber is still there. Comments: that darn rubber is a bit of a mess.
