Caol Ila 12 Year

Poured into the glass we find a limpid color (although there is always our caramel friend to "pollute" things), which unfortunately the dark bottle does not allow to appreciate. The origin of Islay is felt in the brackish aromas that accompany the peat, together with citrus and fresh notes that, if you let the glass to breathe for some time, also create a certain spiciness. The palate reflects what is perceived by the nose, still with the peat smokiness (perfumes that clearly recall the places of origin of this distillate), combined with pepper and citrus fruits. Ocean salinity is always present, well integrated into the whole, without overwhelming the colors of the whisky. Smoke and spices remain in the mouth after having emptied (calmly) the glass, where the perfume remains as long as the palate.
