A fantastic peated Caol Ila from an independent bottler. The aroma offers light notes of sea salt, brine, seaweed, ash, and gentle peat smoke. It has a pleasing texture that feels both light and slick at once. The taste is reminiscent of Ardbeg, with substantial smoke giving way to milder medicinal and citrus notes, culminating in a satisfying salty finish.

It has notes of peach, caramel, green apples, and ash, with hints of vanilla and berries, plus sweetness and saltiness. Wow, Caol Ila! I absolutely adore it.
A good independent bottling of Caol Ila, flavorful yet delicate on the palate. Possesses a nice briny character.
