Caol Ila 5 Year Old 2018 - Benchmark (Murray McDavid)
A fine young Caol Ila single malt joins the Benchmark collection from indie bottler Murray McDavid. This single malt spent four of its five years in a selection of first-fill Madeira wine barriques imparting sweet notes of fruit and maple syrup to the robust peaty malt at its core.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Intense and peaty, with barbecued meat and smoked nuts alongside juicy apple sweetness.
Palate
Sweet, cakey spice and juicy orchard fruits cushion bold, smoky ash and smouldering embers.
Finish
Salted tablet, maple syrup, stewed berries, and cracked black peppercorns.
