Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Nose
Acetone, oak leaves, wood adhesive.
Palate
Fresh oak, classic Caol Ila 'TCP', delicate peat smoke.
Finish
Smoky and dry, herrings, crumbly peat.
Comment
Very decent example of Caol Ila, nothing jars here.

Dave Broom

Nose
Creamy oak. Hint of sulphur alongside bonfire smoke, fish smokehouse and fishing nets.
Palate
Clean and balanced. Tinned fruits and hot-smoked salmon. Quite oily in feel.
Finish
Dry. Driftwood. Smoke.
