Caol Ila 10 years with 700 ml. and 65,8 % volume.
A unpeated Islay Single Malt with a balanced sweetness, saltiness and fresh acidity make the palate mouth-watering and a long, gentle finish follows.
Tasting notes of the Caol Ila 10 years:
Nose: Great intensity and youthful brio. Very pure, clean and punchy, with plenty of alcohol. Green melon, grass clippings and as the alcohol lifts just a little, traces of fermenting pear juice.
Body: Light to medium.
Taste: A grassy picnic by the sea. Vibrant, hot and clean with a spring-like abandon: all flowers, grass and green fruits (fresh apple). High acidity increases the mouth-watering impression and there are notes of lime and even petrol here too. Water makes it succulent; intense in character but also fresh and mouth-cleansing. Sweeter than expected, as some banana emerges. The balance is restored by good acidity and saltiness: there’s no smoke.
Finish: Warming and gentle with great length. |
