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. Despite not being produced by Caol Ila, this Single Malt was part of the tasting for comparative analysis purposes. It is a good Single Malt and even though it is peated, it failed to beat the Caol Ila whiskeys and came in last place among those tasted at the event. Congratulations to the participants for their performance in the race and congratulations to PJota for organizing this incredible event
