Opened a bottle of Caol Ila 12 for the first time and I was disappointed. I’ll revisit later. In the meantime, went back to the last of my bottle of Caskmates. It’s oily on the palate. I like what the finish has done to cut the sweetness. It also creates an interesting dry hoppy finish. It’s like a dry white wine...the dry white wine of whisky. I think it’s very enjoyable.

@Rick_M, I don’t know it’s my first go around with it. I’d like to hear some of the pros here opinion on that. I’m going to let it sit and try again. Maybe my palate was off. It checks all of the boxes for everything I love so I’m going to reserve judgment for now.
@deuce26 - I wonder if Caol Ila has a problem with consistency.
