Caol Ila 12 years old of Islay Collection Tasting note

By Miguel at 2010 Dec,01 in Tasting , Caol Ila

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.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (92): inexistent. sweet, honey, vanilla, peat, floral, citrus, salt, iodine, peat. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (88): . sweet and peaty, salty. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (84): no finish. peat , vanilla, sweet. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Caol Ila 12 year with 88 points over 100.
