Product description

Product description
This 12-year-old Caol Ila is part of the benchmark series from the independent bottler Murray McDavid, who is based in Speyside at the Coleburn distillery. In his various series, he bottles a wide variety of single malts, grains and blends. In this series, whiskies are matured in selected casks. This single malt was given an exceptional 16-month finish in stout beer casks from the Wild Beer Co. brewery, with whom the independent bottler has teamed up to give the smoky Coal Ila new facets and special flavours. The bottle design features a thicker glass base and a high-quality wooden grip cork. The elegant packaging and label of this bottling shines in a fresh colour scheme of silver and green tones.

Aroma: Zitrus Maritime Notes Seaweed Sweet Nuts Bonfire Smoke Peat Smoke Oak

Geschmack: Lemon Maritime Notes Seaweed Caramel Nuts Malt Medicinal Smoke Oak

Abgang: Seaweed Malt Peat Smoke Oak Herb

Kommentar: Wunderschöner Caol Ila, der Brennereicharakter ist voll da, das Finish eher dezent. Die 52,3 % stehen ihm sehr gut. Der Rauch wird dadurch mit Nachdruck präsentiert, das Bierfinish rundet das ganze harmonisch ab. Ich schmecke verhalten Hopfen und eine wirklich dezente Biernote im Hintergrund. Alkohol perfekt eingebunden. Komplexe Geschichte! Volle fünf Punkte, wenn der Malt 20 Euro günstiger wäre.
