Tasting Notes

Nose

High sherry notes: almond, nut bowl, spice. A clootie dumpling thrown athwart a peat fire.

Palate

Well covered and rich but with great smoky/kippery depth.

Finish

Long nutty/fruity then suddenly dies and a medicinal note comes out.

Comment

The sherry gives roundness but doesn't dominate Caol Ila's characteristic energy.
