Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark straw
air Nose
light peat, very nicely balanced. Some grassy notes. Quite subtle, and less peaty than the 12yo. Some tannins but they aren’t too aggressive
restaurant Palate
quite rich, with lots of cooked apple. Very nice peat and a salty tang, and a medium long finish , quite mellow and nicely balanced. A good, quite subtle Caol Ila, worth 86 points on my scale. Better than almost all independent versions. We did taste the cask strength (which, by the way, is a 10yo), but I didn’t take any proper notes. I had already downed quite some bottles of that puppy, which I always liked a lot. Great whisky, perfect to complete the fearless cask strength squadron of the Lagavulin 12yo/Laphroaig 10yo/Ardbeg Uigeadail. June 10, 2004 ON ISLAY: Springbank tasting (off festival) - This was our very first session with fresh Taiwanese maniac Ho-cheng – I'm sure there will be many more! Springbank 11 yo 1989/2000 (43%, Van Wees, dist 10/3/1989)
