Caol Ila 18 Year

Caol Ila Workshop Scottish distillery Peated Islay Whiskeys This past Thursday, 7/11, whiskey specialist PJota Tomé led a beautiful workshop at the headquarters of ABS Minas (Brazilian Association of Sommeliers) on Islay peat produced by the Scottish distillery Caol Ila. ABS Minas partner, Ingá mineral water, kept all participants very well hydrated. In a blind tasting, peated examples of 4 different single malts and 1 guest blended malt were tasted. And after the sensorial analysis of all the whiskeys, in a close vote, the 18 year old Single Malt was chosen as the best of the night. Congratulations to the participants for their performance in the race and congratulations to PJota for organizing this incredible event!

Smokey, a bit of vanilla. Some slight chemical taste

Very well balanced

Lots going on past the smoky and briny impact. Very complex when given time in the glass. Almost full-bodied, medium-long finish.
