Caol Ila 12 Year

Smoky, medicinal, vanilla hint, earthy notes. Tried some independent bottling that I preferred. All right but not as balanced as an Ardbeg, Lagavulin, or Longrow

Zilty peaty

Smoked sea salt and wisps of barbecue smoke on the nose. The palate begins clean and quite sweet - almost piney - then develops with liquorice and the characteristic peat smoke. It’s light, a telling character of many of the blends Caol Ila is used in, but builds with a little more spice - some cinnamon and allspice. The finish leaves behind those wisps of smoke, a pleasant seaweed and brine. A very drinkable peated Islay.

Smoked meat

Sweet and Smokey.
