Caol Ila 1996 (bottled 2008) - Connoisseurs Choice (Gordon & MacPhail) 70cl Whisky

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

The nose pertains a certain herbal quality with a well-balanced cereal sweetness. There are some gentle medicinal notes, the smoke is thick, yet elegant with a dark, chewy peat. The palate is quite full and rich. There smoke is big and whirling with barley sugars and a touch of honey. An apple note emerges with a kelp note. The finish is long and a tad briny with smoke and dry ropes.
