About this deal

It was quite delicious after having steeped together in a smaller bottle together for a while before drinking.

It is similar to things in life such as Vietnamese fish sauce, whereby once you get past the smell, you find yourself craving it. Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us.Some light tastes of burnt oranges, burnt lemons, grilled yellow bell peppers and persimmon emerge, too. Caol Ila 12 Year Old appeals to connoisseurs while also making the perfect entry to the world of peated whisky for newcomers, with its beautifully measured and mellow smokiness and a rich array of seaside flavours.

Any investment and purchase made, or action(s) taken based upon (information in) the Service may and will involve significant risk (such as, but not limited to loss, total loss). Straight from cask to bottle, Ardbeg offers a unique flavour which is different to others from regions. We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then.

In fact, though it has only faint citrus notes on the palate, it has a very "acidic" quality in that it's mouth-watering and, I'll be honest, extremely hard to stop drinking.

I'd been lucky enough to try a single cask offering from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society that was awesome, but was very keen to try the entry level as I'd heard nothing, but good things about it. Pallet: starts sweet, really nice fruitiness there before a big hit of green olives, from there light peat smoke and earthy phenolics, sweetness pops through again at the back. We'll send them to be recycled and you'll save paper, carbon emissions and time at the recycling centre!

My second bottle of this 12 year old OB and whilst I didn't rate that last bottle here, I enjoyed it immensely and would have rated it high 80s ( I think I drank it, with the help of my Mum, in under a month). For me this is an all time high too, ahead of Auchentoshan Three Wood and the Balvenie Doublewood and about 20 other that I have tasted. His traditional methods of malt whisky production continue to this day to ensure the distinctive quality of Caol Ila malt whisky.

Tonight, while the girlfriend is a thousand km away, I tried a risky combo by combining it with the excellent 2002 album by Sigur Ros named () (empty parentheses, it's the album's name, i know.It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without Ocado Limited's prior consent, nor without due acknowledgement. Now, this is an industrial Caol Ila; it's like a construction site with notes of sawn wood, tar, drain cleaner, and raw smoke from burning wood.
