25 year old malt from Islay's most prolific distillery - Caol Ila. Sweet Smooth, and very 'sherbet-lemony'. Only a hint of Smoke, and just superb.
Sticking plasters, TCP, hints of lemon zest and bonfire toffee. Oily smoke and calves leather.
Sweet palate entry with lemon juice ad oak. Leather, notes of black pepper, spicy ginger and Refresher sweets. Intense.
Long, oily, peaty finish.
I had one of these in January with the state stamp from 2008. Rally great whisky and luxurious-looking presentation. Can't wait to be 25 yo again :)
