Review by Elements of Islay

Nose

Whistle clean, with zesty lemon and lime combining with sea-spray and oyster shells. A sharp intake of maritime air with a background note of fresh smoke.

Palate

Again, clean and refreshing, with a medicinal note, plenty of lemon zest and black pepper. Precise and poised, with light smoke and spices adding weight to the clean fruit.

Finish

The refreshing citrus stays strong to the end, while the wispy smoke gently fades.

Note

The seventh in the Cl series is from a single cask from the mid-1990s, and is one of the most refreshing, focused bottlings of the entire range, with precise citrus and textured peatsmoke.
