Caol Ila 12 Year

Tastes like summer BBQ! It feels approachable for a beginner while also providing complexity for those with a more experienced palate.

If I didn't know the price I'd say it's a pretty good dram. It is super unique and I've never had anything with this flavor profile. I really enjoy the chocolate and coffee notes. However at the price a bottle goes for I don't think I'll be buying one anytime in the near future

Works really well for me. For being cask strength it is not too hot. Very sweet on the nose and palate. I get a lot of caramel and brown sugar. Despite that a well balanced dram

Sweet and spicy with a bit of funk. A drop of water brings out a bit of a rubber note? Definitely enjoyed it more as the bottle went on

No real complaints. It's a decent peated whisky. Somewhat earthy and sweet along with the peat. Think I'd prefer a standard islay peated whisky over this

Had a dram at a local restaurant. All in all I view this as simply "classic" scotch. Sweet and smooth, there's nothing in particular that jumps out to me. However given the price I can't complain

Lots of cherry and dried fruits. Nice oily mouth feel. Splash of water helps tame it while keeping the same oily feel and adding a slight musty note

Caramel

Fruity

It's a fine whisky. Nothing super special. Lots of dark fruit and oak. I'd be fine with another dram but don't think I'd buy a bottle anytime soon

Lots of stuff going on. Mezcal really comes through. Chocolate chip cookies? The combo of flavors actually works well

Lots and lots of smoke! Not as medicinal as I remember the laphroaig 10 being. Would probably buy a bottle of this
