Mina kommentarer:
En bra whisky. Röken har rundats av lite jäfört med 12-åringen, men komplexiteten är större. Cask Strength är dock klart bättre. Min poäng: 84 p

Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

Caol Ila 18yo (43%, OB, Bottled +/- 2004)
Nose:
Much lighter than the previous blinds. Sweet grains. Then hints of oil. Spices. It really takes some adjusting after the previous Islay malts. Hey, now it opens up. Yes, I think I finally get some peat - not a lot, though. Another malt that needs time.
Taste: Very weak start, then drier with the faintest hint of liquorice. Then sweeter. Preliminary impression: Lower 80's; once again it loses some points on the palate. Second sampling: Once again this appears rather oily in the nose. Faint hint of peat. Just like before, it starts fairly weak on the palate. Dry and grittier in the centre. Score: 82 points - a little too dry; not the good sherry drought, but the bourbon kind. My underwhelmed response: Two points less than the first batches. A tad below par.
Colour: Pale Straw
Taste: The taste starts a little sweeter than the 12-year-old. Very pleasant, light-flavoured smokiness. A complex balance of primary tastes.
Finish: Sweet-smokey, lingering finish
