Description
In a nutshell:
An intense and rich, subtly smoky 12-Year-Old Whisky from Islay distiller Caol Ila.
The lowdown:
An Islay Whisky were the peatiness isnt dominant, but flows through-out the palate, scenting, lifting, and subtly changing the mix. On the nose aromas of malted barley and gentle floral touches with subtle smoky notes. On the palate, it is light and fresh, with toffee, vanilla and pear. This 12-Year-Old is complex and long, with sweetness fading to leave dark and smoky flavours.
The Distillery:
Founded in 1846 Caol Ila distillery is in Islay's Port Askaig, the name being derived from the 'Sound of Islay', the stretch of water it overlooks and which separates it from the neighbouring island of Jura. After changing hands a number of times through the years it came into the ownership of the Distillers Company (now Diageo) in 1927. In 1972 the original distillery buildings were demolished and replaced by a much bigger one in the process making Caol Ila Islay's largest producer. At that time, before the expansion of the single malt market, most of the production went into blended scotches, notably the various expressions of Johnnie Walker.
