Islay Single Malt
Scotland
700ml
ABV: 43%
Introduced in 2010, after cask strength versions in 2004 and 2005, this is the first officially-bottled Caol Ila 25yo to be bottled at 43%. It's nice to see growing recognition for this excellent distillery, and this is a very welcome addition to the official range, with a rich, gentle mouthfeel and restrained, coal-esque phenols
THE EXPERIENCE
-
COLOR
Pale Gold -
NOSE
Complex nose of smoke, liquorice, vanilla and intense freshly-mown grass,
-
PALATE
Rich and creamy texture with notes of toffee and caramel (as it seems is the distillery’s signature flavour profile), with leathery notes coming to the fore towards the end.
-
FINISH
A long but subtle finish, with the leather and sweeter notes continuing from the palate.
