Remarks:
All in all a nice malt. Easy drinking also with the high alcohol content.

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    typical Caol Ila nose. The alcohol is already a bit present. Maritime, lots of citrus fruits, sweetish.

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    also here again the well-known Caol Ila profile. Not overly complex, because you can tell the young age

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    strong finish. It can’t hide it’s DNA here either.
