Tasted this one quite a bit last night.
I bought a case of this several years ago back before Caol Ila OB was available in this country (since then I've been mega-tasting 12yr Caol Ila OB's!).
I really love young Caol Ila's for that fresh, mouth-coating, smack-you-in-the-face peaty smoke as this one is a perfect example of.
11 yr old Caol Ila Signatory Unchillfiltered
Distilled on: 28/01/1991
Bottled on: 12/09/2002
46% Alc./Vol.
Matured in an oak cask
Cask # 1101
Bottle # 20 of 365
Color: Light Bright Gold
Nose: Smoke, Peat, Vanilla, whiffs of iodine
Body: Oily, Mouth-coating, sweet, waves of peat & smoke followed by a salty spray from off The Sound of Islay.
Finish: A smokey sweet-peat lingers on for a long, long time.
I give this one an 8.5 out of 10 |

Hi Wave, I've tasted this one:
CAOL-ILA 1984
40%
Gordon and Mac Phail,
Connoisseur Choice.
Dry, earthy medicinal nose.Certainly warms the cockles, nose of bonfire.
6.5/7
Early tasting notes, so bit lacking in information, must retry _________________ https://www.facebook.com/Let-the-drink-talk-675586225966432/ |
