Evokess: your favorite old wool sweater and a hug from your father.
Not particularly complex, but a nice blend of peat and vanilla. Slightly oily with a creamy base.
Tasted side by side with the Caol Ila 12
Nose: Fruitier than the 12, to be expected, less harsh. It’s actually a lovely nose, almost buttery and vanilla! But subtle peat throughout. Was less aggressive than the 12.
Taste: Lovely
Conclusion: If you want a mellow Islay you can’t go wrong here! Smoke and peat but not going to knock you out!
Nose: saline and very delicate peat, acidulous and sweet. Great and unobtrusive.
Palate: dense and oily, very light and delicate, not full-bodied like 25yo. Confirms the saline and peat, the latter being very delicate. Velvety.
Final: very long, with ash mixed with brackish, perhaps the best part of the whole because it persists in the mouth indefinitely.
Worthy son of the 25yo.
Rating 4.75

Naso: salino e torba molto delicata, acidula e dolciastra. Ottimo e non invadente.
Palato: denso ed oleoso, molto leggero e delicato, non corposo come il 25yo. Conferma il salino e la torbatura, quest’ultima davvero delicatissima. Vellutato.
Finale: lunghissimo, alla cenere mista a salmastro, forse la parte migliore del tutto perché persiste in bocca all’infinito.
Degno figlio del 25yo.
