Caol Ila 8 Douglas Laing
COLOR
A pale autumn yellow color with a greenish chlorine tint. Like rainwater collecting in a cedar barrel.
NOSE
A subtle but complex nose with smoke, tobacco, licorice, vanilla, cream, wormwood, lime, menthol, and lacquer. PQ claims there's salt in the nose!
FLAVOR
Sweet cream, butter, banana, menthol, licorice, charcoal peaches and lots of salt.
FINISH
Long finish that changes over time. Lime, lemongrass, straw, cream, vanilla, licorice, banana, cream and lots of salt.
COMMENTS
An aggressive salty Islay dram! It's high ABV lends itself to some water, depending on taste.
