Caol Ila 175th Anniversary 35 Year Old, Bourbon Hogshead Cask, Cask #132, 1982, Cadenhead's, 53.5%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

88 / 100

The appeal is the clear contrast between savoury, drying oak and the fruit notes, with sea salt and sweet peat smoke carrying through the finish. It sounds layered without feeling muddled.
