2008 Berrys' Caol Ila Cask Ref. 314300 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whi...

Caol Ila Distillery is near Port Askaig, looking across the sound of Islay to neighbouring Jura. The nose is initially gentle, offering traces of icing sugar and earthy smoke. With time to develop in the glass, the peatiness begins to show a muscular, coastal character. The palate gives damp wool, icing sugar, delicate floral notes, and more peat smoke. The finish is unmistakably Islay, fading slowly with flavours of kippers, tar and lingering smoke.
