Caol Ila 'Single Malts of Scotland' 2011 / 10 years old #301628 61.1%

From Caol Ila distillery, here we have a very succulent and elegant expression bottled by The Single Malts of Scotland. Matured for 10 years in a single ex-sherry butt and bottled at a hefty 61.1%. The nose is earthy, like walking through a garden after rainfall, rich fruit chutney mingles on a platter of smoked meats. Fresh and coastal on the palate, salted pretzels dipped in sticky jam, smoky baked ham and waxy lemon peel. The finish is dry with soft smoke, salty and sweet
