Just what I want in a peated dram

"Nothing to complain about the one note that sticks out to me is the briny-meaty/ smoked fish notes which is all I want and need from a peated whisky, it's just a shame that there's only a 130 bottles that were produced. Greatful to have seen a different side of Caol Ila, I'll keep my eye on some of the other independent bottlings of Caol Ila. When it comes to peated whiskies the age of the dram doesn't matter that much just look at the 5 y/o wee Beastie of Ardbeg. 8 years for this one, but it doesn't taste like a youngster at all. I was delightfully surprised, thanks to Whisky Brother & Co."

You had me at peat

"I love a good smokey dram and this one is no exception. There is a uniqueness to this whisky that I can't quite put my finger on but I'm a fan!"

Smoke and Tar

"Love you Caol Ila in good casks, this one really hammers home with some peat and sweet vanilla and citrus, the finish reminds me of licking tar. Really good yet different expression of Caol Ila"
