Caol Ila 25

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 59.4%

Score: 92 Points

This malt hides its age well, with a nose that is fresh, clean and peaty with notes of vanilla and straw. The taste has a great mouthfeel, ashy and smoky, and tingles the tip of the tongue with peppery spiciness. The finish is peat smoke, soot, and pepper.
