Caol Ila 7 Year Old, Port Octave Cask, Batch No. D17, 2014, North Star, 51.7%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

82 / 100

The summer berries and orchard fruits give this a clear fruit thread, but they sit alongside iodine, charcoal and sooty smoke. The metallic, slightly silicone-like nose sounds less inviting to me, so this feels more mixed than an easy fruit-led pick.
