House Review
-
Intro:
This is an ex-bourbon matured bottling of Caol Ila spirit distilled in 1991 and bottled in 2013. It is bottled at cask strength.
-
Nose:
Honey, biscuits, apple butter. Salt and pepper, faint smoke, butter cream. Nice minerality.
-
Taste:
Medium length, some heat. Apple butter note here persists. Salty with some nice pepper and a good blast of ashy smoke. The smoke and the salt and pepper components really balance the sweetness here. Very nice.
-
Finish:
Long, dry and ashy. Nice oak presence, good vanilla backbone plays well with the growing smoke.
-
Overall:
Complex and ever changing, this progresses from sweet and fruity to dry and smoky in a really great way.
