    Caol Ila 12 Year Old 1999 Unpeated (Special Release 2011)

    One of the showstoppers from Diageo's 1999 Special Releases, this unpeated Caol Ila is a stunning whisky, distilled in 1999 and aged in first-fill ex-bourbon American oak casks. Really very good indeed! A release of 6,000 bottles. We remember it fondly.

    Please Note: There is some wear to the back label.

    This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    An old-fashioned tuck shop greats the nostrils; sherbet, Refreshers sweets and various boiled items in jars (the kind that shatter your teeth instantly). There’s also an assortment of “Cinema Snacks” – mainly chocolate-coated raisins and toffee popcorn. Hints too of walnut, ginger and mace.

    Palate

    Very rich (and at 64%abv that means VERY rich), offering up stem ginger in syrup, parma violets, lemon meringue pie, chili and melted rum & raisin ice cream.

    Finish

    Long and sublimely sweet with exotic spices and pear juice.

    Overall

    A recurring theme of almost soapy parma violets seems to be popping up! A very unusual Caol Ila, and certainly one of the best Unpeated Caol Ilas we’ve had.
