Caol Ila Feis Ile 2010 Edition

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 61.9%

Score: 92 Points

This malt carries no age statement, but was distilled in August of 1999 and aged in a European oak ex-sherry cask. The nose is smoky and well-balanced, with notes of honey, vanilla, and pears. The taste is puckery, peppery, and mouth-filling with a muted smokiness and notes of cilantro and straw. The finish is dry and peppery.
