Product description

Product description
This Caol Ila is part of Gordon & MacPhail's 'Discovery Series'. In 2018, a revamp of the independent bottler's complete range followed, with the Discovery Series being a new addition. All their bottlings differ in Taste and due to their production. Thus, there are the three flavour profiles bourbon cask, sherry cask and smoky (smoky). The different characters differ in their colour design: green = bourbon cask; purple = sherry cask; white/grey = smoky.

Christian
on 27.09.2024
Aroma: Dominantes Lagerfeuer, süße Zitrusfrucht wird mit der Zeit dominanter.

Geschmack: Startet sehr süß, dann kommt der typische Caol Ila Charakter durch und der Whisky wird trockener. Frucht habe ich weniger, dafür recht viel Holz.

Abgang: Recht trocken und holzbetont, anders als anfänglich zu vermuten.

Kommentar: Ich mag Caol Ila, der 12jährige ist ein Preis-Leistungssieger. Den Preisaufschlag von G&M ist bei gerade einem Jahr Altersunterschied nicht erechtfertigt. In jedem Fall würde ich den überragenden Ladaig aus der Discovery-Serie vorziehen.

Aroma: Peat Smoke Sweet Caramel

Geschmack: Sweet Peat Smoke Fruit Tropical Fruit

Abgang: Peat Smoke Sweet Tropical Fruit Bonfire Smoke

Kommentar: Toller Whisky! Süß & zuckrig mit schön eigebundenem Rauch. Im Geschmack süße Früchte, leichter Rauch und ein wenig Zitrone. Angenehm zu trinken - würde ich wieder kaufen.

Sehr hochwertiges Flaschen- und Verpackungsdesign des Abfüllers.

Aroma: Peat Smoke Fruit Sweet

Geschmack: Peat Smoke Ham Fruit Vanilla

Abgang: Peat Smoke Fruit Orange

Kommentar: Schön ölig-rauchig, Fruchtsüße genau richtig dahinter, etwas Zitrus im Abgang spürbar. Keine Schärfe, sehr gelungen.
