Description

Caol Ila Natural Cask Strength 2005 is a rare Islay single malt from Caol Ila. The distillery produces an elegantly balanced spirit that is lighter-bodied than many Islay malts, yet with all the typical peatiness. This richly satisfying natural cask strength expression, bottled in 2005 at 59.3%, has fresh sea-air aromas, deep peppery flavours and a smoky-dry, spicy intensity.

Nose
Lots and lots of lemon notes. reminds me of the CI unpeated, lemony theme, but with the added phenols, peat and smoke . very fresh, green grass, green apple peel. the ABV is evident.. a nose is different than both 12 and 18. i do think it's really unique.
Palate
Obviously young and kicking! strong peat, with sweet middle and mouth coating. Oily. Salty notes appear after you chew on it a bit. yep! sea spray salty! what a nice touch!
Finish
heaps of peat. very warming and long. some bacon notes and spice. the longest of all three in terms of finish. Ace.
