Caol Ila 1976 GM Private Collection Cask# 8099

Remarks:
beautiful malt, the profile of the distillery is clearly recognizable. But all in all it appears much younger than 43 years

Overall I rate this Whisky 90/100 points

• Nose: 90/100 points
  light smoke rises in the nose, paired with lots of citrus fruits, appears very fresh and you would not guess the age, herbs come, a subtle sweetness in the background, the distillery character is clearly present. Later there are wood notes and a little wax. Some leather also comes out. Maritime notes
  
  
• Taste: 90/100 points
  Nice start, a lot of citrus fruits wrapped in maritime smoke, the distillery character can also be felt here. Slightly salty. Becoming creamy oily towards the end.
  
  
• Finish: 90/100 points
  Maritime notes with citrus fruits and light smoke, the aromas remain in the middle for a long time. A subtle sweetness can also be seen here in the background.
