    Interesting, for me somewhat exotic whisky. Definitely worth a glass!

      This is a mild colleague. Very pleasant greasy camp fire smoke note. Ashier over time, but I wouldn't blindly come here to Caol Ila. Citrus freshness, tangerines (I rarely have that), light strawberry, interesting profile.

      Soft mouthfeel, sweet and ashy. Now the Caol Ila character comes through. Unmistakable in a way. Pleasantly vinous, maritime, the tangerine is back. A little banana?

      Due to the low alcohol not too long but still appropriate. Slight sweetness with the ashes that linger on fruitiness.
