Very good review score, 87 out of 100
Naked and vertical Caol Ila, with the spotlight firmly on coastal notes: brine, seaweed, cold ashes and a moderate tarry edge.

We’ve been on a bit of a sherry run with Caol Ila lately (barring a very old Whiskyland outlier, which we’re choosing to ignore), so it felt like time to let the distillery breathe again. No tricks, no seasoning, no overthinking, just a proper refill hoggie doing exactly what it should and delivering Caol Ila in its most classical, self-assured form.
