.caol ila - 12yo

Door number 12 of the Drinks by the Dram WhiskyAdvent Calendar opens to a 12 year old Caol Ila.

43% abv, €40, single malt

Nose: fresh, minty, eucalyptus, sweet, smoke
Palate: creamy, sweet, minty, eucalyptus, a hint of smoke
Finish: long, spicy, black pepper, roast beef, smoke, milk chocolate
Mark: +++++ 

Conclusion: Nothing much going on except the obvious classic peaty Caol Ila notes. Lovely, but nothing more.

.many thanks to the kind people of Drinks by the Dram to let us review their 2015 advent calendar
