Caol Ila 2010, 11 y.o., small batch, 46 %, Berry Bros. & Rudd

Beschreibung

Dieser Single Malt stammt aus der Caol Ila Distillery/ Islay. Nur eine Handvoll Fässer wurden zu diesem small batch vermählt. Ausgesucht werden diese Fässer von Douglas McIvor, “Master Keeper of the Quaich”.

Tasting Notes:

The nose is initially deceptively gentle, offering icing sugar and a slight earthy smoke, though time in the glass crescendos the coastal peat showing muscular phenolic character. The palate gives more notes of peat smoke along with damp wool, icing sugar, slight floral notes, and more peat smoke! The finish is unmistakably coastal fading slowly with flavours of kippers, tar and yet more smoke.
