Caol ila 1996 Distillers Edition

This stuff is sneaky; when it first hits your palette you think someone switched your whisky with water, but after a second or so, the whisky arrives and unfolds into a sweeter, smoother version of the 12 Year (due to this observation, I would NOT add water). The finish has a mild sherry note to join the fresh vegetal notes. This stuff could be dangerous...it's so smooth that I think it's the first whisky I've had that I could--potentially--drink like water. We'll see what time does.

Overall, not bad. But, I like a little more fight to my drinks.
