Tasting Note;

A first hit of vinyl, like smelling an old-fashioned LP. There is a dry smokiness in here, carbolic, creosote. Imagine walking newly tarred docks on a hot summer afternoon. Definitely on the medicinal side of phenols. To top it off a hint of violet scented soap. Slightly sweeter and a bit quieter than its sibling from Saltire’s 2nd batch. A beautiful harmonious finish. Again, a well-integrated Caol Ila. Simply gorgeous.
