Caol Ila 28 Year Old 1983 (Adelphi)
A 28 year old Caol Ila bottled in 2012 by Adelphi, and one of 250 bottles matured in a refill bourbon hogshead.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Carbolic, mineral nose with a pronounced garage floor element.
Palate
An oily feel that really coats the mouth, but this is matched by a surprisingly light sweetness that balances the obvious peaty notes.
Finish
The sweetness lingers and there is a lot here. Lavender honey notes and more wonderful carbolic.
Overall
A sophisticated old Islay, that boats arresting complexity that transcends the smoke.
