Caol Ila 15 Year Unpeated Style (2018 Special Release)

N: Salty, vanilla, apricots, green apples, light spices. P: Surprisingly smooth for 59.1% ABV. Mint, brine, honey, chocolate. F: Long, spices, salty, light honey. Excellent!

The nose is light and fruity with vanilla and citrus, the mouth is quite briny and sweet and spicy. The aftertaste is quite long and turns a bit lemony and honey with spice. It is a very nice sip! Caol Ila feels like an overlooked gem on Islay(?), don't miss out :) Edit: Upping the score to 4.5 as this bottle is coming to an end, the don't miss out recommendation stands!

Very nice with notes of vanilla, peach, cherry, caramel, flowers, grass, pepper, milk chocolate, and raisins.

Nose: a little Sea salty, even vanilla. Taste has a lingering vanilla flavor, very aromatic (which I like)—fills your nose and mouth, soft woody flavor. Very nice oak finish which lasts. If you let it last long enough you’ll taste apples.
