Colour: pale gold. Nose: the first word that comes to my mouth is ‘delicate’, and maybe also ‘ancient’. Indeed, this profile remind me a bit of the old G&Ms (1968, 1969 and such), and is probably more ‘old Caol Ila’ than ‘new Caol Ila’, which is most interesting. Of course, it was made in the rebuilt/extended distillery, not in the old one. There’s an obvious sootiness that mingles perfectly well with some elegant notes of camphor and pine sap, some eucalyptus syrup and notes of apple compote, while the ocean’s blowing in the background (what?) Oysters! Maybe a little feminine, and certainly very subtle. Curious about the palate… Blanton’s Single Barrel La Maison du Whisky
Mouth: interesting, very interesting… Starts rather earthy this time, leafy, with notes of liquorice wood, roots (ginseng?), gentian… That gives the whole a great bitterness (tonics, bitters). It gets more maritime after that, with a little brine, a moderate peatiness, an ashy/chalky feeling that’s most pleasant and just touches of lemon and grapefruit. Also ripe apples. Again, it’s very elegant and maybe slightly ‘diaphanous’, so to speak. An old Caol Ila to sip in the morning? Finish: medium long, maybe a tad dry, briny, with a rather ashy aftertaste. More peat. Comments: I think I understood why they bottled this baby at 43%, it’s to make sure that its elegant profile gets noticed. Yes, maybe. A quiet, serene old Caol Ila
