Nose
Antique furniture wax, dried mango, salted almonds and a far-off bonfire. The peat has all but vanished into a fine maritime patina.
Palate
Astonishingly soft for the strength — coconut husk, lemon curd, old oak, candied pineapple and a final flicker of brine. Water draws out an almost tropical sweetness.
Finish
Immensely long, drying and resinous, with embers, sea air and a touch of bitter orange.
Expert Review
9/10A rare Diageo Special Release distilled in the late 1970s, when Caol Ila was rebuilding itself after demolition — Islay smoke transmuted by thirty-five years of slumber.
