Servus MT,

I tryed the Caol Ila "Whisky Galore", 13 y.o., 60% 2 weeks ago in Munich in a Pub called The Arc (http://www.thearc-pub.com), here my notices:

N: fruity, peaty, alcoholic, seaair, wood, bourbonnotes, smoke, mild
G: peaty, dry, sweet, warm, fruity, oily
A: long lasting, peaty, sweet dry, wood, bourbonnotes, mild

A Bonus for very well intgrated alcohol, a rather nice and powerfull Dram

Hey peat-chaser, I don't know by your last forum whether you were being funny or not by the Arc comment as M-T owns the Arc. He was looking for notes before he put it into his pub.... did you get you forum dram

Next time your in there ask for Keith and you should get a good natter about whisky from the Man

(and a great source for retail whisky too so don't be shy to ask him what he has on offer :wink:

)

Hi irishwhiskeychaser, I´m sorry but I didn´t realise that MT was Keith,
because like you see I´m quite new here.
I allready know him from a visit in his pub last friday and he was it who told
me to have a look at this forum.

Is this bottling from Duncan Taylor?

They used to have a 'Whisky Galore' Range.

hi Bruce,

Duncan Taylor does own the Whisky Galore Range but what I gather that seems to be being replaced by their NC2 range - Non Chilfiltered and Non Coloured.

One thing I would like to say is don't you think that independent bottlings of Caol Ila are far better than than the official bottlings - as good as they are!

Regards

Pete

That's great! Some nice honest confusion here for new friends, meeting again elsewhere, but not realizing it! Good stuff! I assume it will happen to most of us sometime, when we least expect it! That Arc pub must be truly a great place!! No arguing the whisky is tops!

The DTC Caol Ila bottlings I've had are superb and well worth buying.

I was just wondering if the bottling mentioned is from DTC.
