Mina kommentarer:
En mycket bra whisky. mycket rök, torv och en stor komplexitet. En aning sötma kan kännas. Behaglig trots sina 55%. En superb originalbuteljering av Caol Ila. Definitivt toppklass. Hoppas att de kan hålla kvaliteten i framtida tappningar.
Min poäng: 88 p
Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:
Caol Ila NAS 'Cask Strength' (55%, OB, Bottled +/- 2004)
Nose: Grainy, then paint thinner. Harsh and quite odd. Later more organics emerge. Something coastal. Is that peat? Yeah, it seems to be. Nothing really sticks out here.
Taste: The obvious high proof gives it substance, but it seems relatively flat and thin. Preliminary impression: Around 80 points, I guess; I'll need to give this one another try. Second sampling: More peat, organics and complexity in the nose this time around. This is definitely worth more than 80 points! Wonderfully sweet and peaty on the palate.
Score: 86 points - it's far from perfect, but there's a lot of fun to be had here. My surprised response: Haha; another Caol Ila OB that seems on the way up.
