Caol Ila 18 year old
Review by Caol Ila
« This review is also available in Dutch »
- Colour
Golden
- Nose
Smoky bonfires, then soapy water and wet wool, with a smouldering beach bonfire in the distance. Hints of mineral oil, then wax. Develops scents of burnt pork sausages.
- Palate
Smooth and mildly sweet start with good acidity and sea salt.
- Finish
A lingering, charred, slightly sour finish.
- Conclusion
Age introduces a golden colour and complexity to this mellow, amber Caol Ila. It starts smoky-sweet on the nose then drinks smoothly, showing a sweet yet sour character. The long-lived finish evokes a distant, smouldering beach bonfire.
