    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Butterscotch and peat, blown through with sea air with a slight medicinal tinge.

    Palate

    Sweet and powerful before a sprinkling of white pepper, sea salt and peat takeover.

    Finish

    Lengthy and dry, the smokiness fades to leave pine forests and seaweed. A very good Caol Ila, definitely one to try if you are a fan of this quirky Isla distillery.
