Caol Ila 2010 12 Year Old, Berry's Cask #311758

Caol Ila Distillery is near Port Askaig, looking across the sound of Islay to neigbouring Jura. Its whisky is very well respected for both its distinctive, smoky Islay style and elegant, fruity balance.

Scotland meets Italy. The nose is initially quite tight; a drop of water helps to tease out the aromas, giving peat smoke paired with a backbone of citrussy fruit loaf. The palate is pleasingly thick, showing coastal peat, dried fruit, mango, figs and spiced melon. After a slow start, this dram doesn't hesitate. The lingering finish - marrying Islay's peat and Italy's sweet, spicy fruit note - ensures you'll be back for another dram.
