Caol Ila Connoisseurs Choice 12 Year Old, Refill Bourbon Butt Cask, Cask #112010, Batch No. 21/082, 2008, Gordon & MacPhail, 57%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

87 / 100

The notes point to a rich style, with vanilla fudge and roasted nuts alongside sweet peat smoke. Citrus oil gives it a brighter counterpoint, while the lingering brine and bonfire embers suggest a warm, savoury finish. That balance sounds appealing, though it is more weighty than light.
