Single Malt
Scotland
Single & Single
1 Jan 2010
An indie bottling of single malt from Islay's Caol Ila Distillery, on the east coast of the Hebridean isle. This whisky was distilled in 2010, and was aged in a single American oak hogshead cask for a decade. Following that slumber, the folks from Single & Single bottled it up at cask strength, producing just 216 bottles.
White grape and green apple, contrasted with hints of soot and smoke.
Still subtly fruity, though more vanilla and floral malt comes through on the palate. Vegetal peat and a touch of sea spray.
Lingering hints of cigar box and caraway.
