Caol Ila 12 Jahre Hidden Malt

Caol Ila 12 Jahre Hidden Malt. 70 cl. and 43 % volume. Caol Ila 12 years is not as peaty as the other Islay malts. Caol Ila 12 year is that it is lighter than Lagavulin, Ardbeg and Laphraoig, but not sweet at all.

Dave Broom, Whisky Magazine:

Oily yet fruity. Linseed oil, green olive, smoked fish. Lightly medicinal, wet grass, linseed oil, smoky wood (balsa wood?). With water good biscuity malt and smoky bacon notes.

Palate
Rounded, mid-weight. Good smoky intensity mid-palate. Clean juicy fruits, oil and dry smoke.

Finish
Long smoky, fishy

Comment
Great balance and the best of the three .
