I'm quite certain this is Caol Ila. It possesses that medium-strong peat and oily quality I recall from Caol Ila 12. Adding water is beneficial as it's quite potent. There's an underlying sweetness beneath the peat that makes me want to keep drinking it. I hope there's some remaining when I return.
