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.

Great lemons and sweet smoke, water brings some liquorice. So very very quaffable. So glad I got mine for a bargain because it will be finished soooo quickly.
But for the price it's not a bad whisky at all. It's smokey, sorta sweet. Lots of smoked trout on the nose. Campfire. It's a good whisky, but i've tasted equally good islay at a lower price. Not dissapointed but you can get better malts for this price. Age isn't everything. So, long story short. Tastes good, had better, not a rebuy, but not dissapointed.
Price/ quality is excellent for one 25 years now...
I've been looking forward to try this one, really. But, now that I am drinking it, I must say that I expected more. My tip - only add a splash of water if you have to, and drink it slowly. The smootheness is nice, and the aftertaste is subtly smooth. Smokey on the palate, fruity on the tongue, hints of plum and just a spark of vanilla if you're lucky. Overall, a nice whiskey, yet, not an instant rebuy.
Delicate and nice, tried one of these last summer, with the stamp from 2010. Rally great whisky ''expensive?'' well yes, but worth all the Money
