CAOL ILA 2005 First Fill Bourbon Barrel Gordon & Macphail

Particularly complex, this Caol Ila distilled in 2005 uses peat and smoke to better showcase every facet of its personality. It gives free rein to its original, even surprising temperament, as seen in the tasty notes of green tomatoes perceptible from the very first sip. Oceanic yet earthy, it first takes us out to the open sea to breathe in the sea spray, then carries us into a dazzling finish in the middle of a field of freshly cut barley.
