TASTING NOTES Caol Ila 1995/2010 James MacArthur

Nose

you can smell the youth: the peat is indeed quite lively. The Ex-Sherry Cask has given the spirit different nuances: bacon, unripe red fruits and cotton candy. However, it remains definitely a peated whisky from Islay. Lastly, notes of smoke, wood and ash are outlined.

Palate

peat and spices mix with the sugary hints of red fruity and burnt caramel. Notes of smoke and bacon are reproposed, with a shade of chili that is followed by cocoa. Briny sensations of iodine, along with diesel, ink and licorice, complete the aromatic palette.

Finale

Caol Ila aged in Ex-Sherry Casks are not very frequent. Intensity is close to perfect.
