Vette neus met kruidige tonen.
Turfsmaak, ahorn, citrus.
De afdronk heeft wat van as en iets ziltigs.

Een whisky met veel interessante elementen.

Color

Old gold

Nose

Immediately very pleasant, subtle peat influences, sparkling, fresh, but also sweet as licorice. In the nose are all wood influences noticeable characteristic of an older whisky. Overall a wonderful nose.

Taste

Delicious strong, warm with a subtle sweetness and soft peat tones. This all nicely balanced.

Finish

Very long...The subtle peat influences remain present long.

Color

Yellow gold

Nose

Very elegant and sweet. Marzipan, clementine, some banana. Hints of vanilla and pastry, some creamy notes (rice milk, Almendrina paste). Very interesting, and overall very refined and balanced. Develops some medicinal notes and very soft ashy touches but it never becomes an Islay monster. Great silky elegance.

Taste

Oily mouthfeel with much more peat now. More pronounced coastal notes as well. Still this banana / almond creaminess. Some lemon and punchy pepper.

Finish

Long, initially salty but then returning to citrus and pepper.

Comments

This Caol Ila develops nicely from a discreet, rounded nose to a powerful, relatively peaty body without losing its balanced smoothness. High quality and fairly priced.
