Scotland - Islay Single Malt Whisky

0 persons recommended this dram. Recommend it.

Caol Ila lacks as single malt of the exposure and praise it has as a tool for whisky blenders.

It is a medium weight, but still packing plenty of potent phenols, this is a refined, powerful dram with a compensating oiliness. A balanced, peaty beauty.

If you like Caol Ila you should try Ardbeg Uigeidail.

    “So earthy... no wonders I keep mistaking this Caol Ila one with Ardbeg, strong peat, earth and citrus aromas”
    This dram has a fino-like color.

    Nose (90): more than average. honey, peat, citrus, wood. Pure peat-xperience.

    Taste (91): powerful, oily. peat, honey, earthy, citrus, vanilla, pepper. Peated and earthy... just miss the coffee notes of Ardbeg

    Finish (90): longer than average. peat, honey, citrus, earth.
