Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Juniper. Garden mint. Burnt grass, but soft.
Palate
Lightly oily. Soothing at first. Lots of flavour development.
Finish
Spicy (nutmeg, pepper). Warming. Very long.
Comment
Of the three expressions in this tasting, this is the most rounded and balanced. All the classic Caol Ila aromas and flavours are there, with no sharp edges. Vatted for drinkability?

Dave Broom

Nose
Oily yet fruity. Linseed oil, green olive, smoked fish. Lightly medicinal, wet grass, linseed oil, smoky wood (balsa wood?). With water good biscuity malt and smoky bacon notes.
Palate
Rounded, mid-weight. Good smoky intensity mid-palate. Clean juicy fruits, oil and dry smoke.
Finish
Long smoky, fishy.
Comment
Great balance and the best of the three.
