Michael Jackson
75- Nose
- Light peat and iodine.
- Palate
- Junipery. Interplay of stemmy dryness and sweetness.
- Finish
- Tobacco-like.
- Comment
- On the light side, but with some delicacy and complexity.
Jim Murray
85- Nose
- Classic and quite unmistakable Caol Ila with its ultra-clean, delightfully oily gristy peatiness.
- Palate
- Malt-sweet at first and them an intense build-up of clean, uncomplex peat. Chewy and fat.
- Finish
- Long, sweet and gristy with just a gentle oak follow through.
- Comment
- Caol Ila is not renowned for its complexity but this is as good as it gets at what its best at: offering big peat in a sweet, oily manner. Excellent.
