It's a while since I had the Caol Ila cask strength. This is the standard 12 yo. I hope it's in the same ball park
Nose is minty, fresh, herby, smoky, salty, iodine and sharp green apples.
This is pale gold, slightly oily, and you get a big smokey blast and salted caramel, with a long peppery finish.
It's really drinkable and fans of Laphroaig and a Lagavulin will feel right at home.
Find where to buy Caol Ila whisky
It's a little thin on the palate, but good (not overwhelmingly bitter) smoke and some good underlying flavour.
