Nose : a very delicate nose peat wise. Fruit , light peat with some candy and hints of Turkish delight. This needs some breathing in the glass. With time it gets fruitier with more tropical fruit and Ginger. Palate ; big alcohol hit then a blast of smoke , bacon, fruits and sugared dry smoked banana. Much Smokier than the nose suggests and exotic. Finish : smoke , kippers , malty cereal notes and dough.
Bottom line:
Ace. One of the better Caol Ila bottlings I’ve sampled recently. A real treat of a dram. Older Coal Ilas, rock!
Great thanks @benellefsen, well done on Drinks by the Dram by the way.
It's really neat!
cheers Ben!
