We added this single malt from Caol Ila to our very own Single Cask Series! This was distilled on the Isle of Islay in August 2010 and left to age in a refill sherry hogshead for six years, before we bottled it up in April 2017. As ever, we bottled it at cask strength, without chill-filtration or additional colourings, so you can taste the whisky as if you crept into the distillery and swiped a dram for yourself. Don't do that, by the way. It's considered poor form.
Frazzles crisps, toasted seaweed, Elastoplast, BBQ embers and apple sauce. Divine.
Peat smoke, peppercorns and a real meatiness. After sitting in the glass a little bit the apple sauce comes back, along with some lemon peel. More sweetness comes out with a splash of water, but really it’s all about those smoky bacon crisps.
Substantial and smoky.
Like a bacon toastie burnt round the edges.
