Tasting notes for Caol Ila 10 year old (1989/1999), Signatory bottling

» See All Single Malt Scotch Whisky Reviews «

Signatory bottling, 43% a.b.v.

Nose shows distinct aromas of barbecued meat, charcoal, and bonfire.  Smoky palate with charcoal ashes and maybe some juniper.  Heavy herbal finish, perhaps allusions to the herb savory.  I keep trying to get more flavors out of it but it is rather reticent.  Odd but enjoyable.  Cask 1878, Bottle 62 of 306

Suggested for: At a barbecue?
