Omschrijving:
WHISKYFUN: Caol Ila 'Cask Strength' (55%, OB) I had this one several times, and I think I must have downed two or three bottles. Colour: pale straw. This one is more straightforward, more direct – and perhaps a little simpler. A big punch, yet not a smack-in-you-face malt. Tar and smoke (garden bonfire), green malt and hay… Develops on apple compote and hot milk, getting quite peppery and spicy (clove). Not too complex – but very, very nice. Mouth: again, a bold attack, and again, it’s somewhat simpler. Quite ‘creamy’. Smoke, peat, apple, pepper… Very maritime (salty), even if this one hasn’t been matured near the see. Develops on tea, camomile, praline, dried orange, nutmeg. It gets ‘wider’ after a few minutes. Dried pear, banana… I always liked it since it’s been launched, and I still like it for its great compactness and boldness. A perfect hipflask malt for Sundays. Well, let me quote the Smiths again: ‘everyday is like Sunday!’ 88 points
