Destilleri: Caol Ila
- Navn: The Distillers edition
- Region: Islay
- Aftapper: Original
- Alder: NAS (No Age Statement)
- Procent: 43 %
- Diverse: Caol Ila Distiller’s Edition er en særlig udgivelse fra det store Islay-destilleri. Denne Distiller’s Edition har fået en såkaldt ”finish” på fade der tidligere har indeholdt moscatelvin. Det giver den elegant røgede whisky et ekstra lag af sødme og noter af tørret frugt, som spiller flot sammen med Caol Ilas salte og citrusprægede karakter.
Farve: Gylden.
Duft: Koncentreret og ”medicinsk” i duften, med aromaer af jod, bålrøg, druer og abrikos.
Smagsnoter: I smagen er der masser af røg, olivenolie, citronskal, kanel og en fin, underspillet sødme.Caol Ila har længe stået i skyggen af de tre store ”South Shore-destillerier”, Ardbeg, Lagavulin og Laphroaig, selvom destilleriet sagtens kan hamle op med whiskyen fra de tre superstjerner på single malt-scenen.
Siden starten af 1970’erne har whiskyen fra Caol Ila næsten udelukkende været brugt til blends. Først i begyndelsen af det nye årtusinde fik Caol Ila sine egne officielle destilleriaftapninger. Gordon & MacPhail har trofast aftappet Caol Ila meget længe før dette.

- N: a malt that does not hide its youth, but rather exhibits it proudly: and it is good !, because there is no the usual saccharine note of candied fruit, but deeper notes of fermented malt, of washback … Then, hazelnuts and almonds; blood orange; shades of red fruit, of wood. Wet barrel, and like ginger spice and a hair of pepper. Egg yolk. As proof of the already solid structure, water (although superfluous for alcoholic impact) opens and opens the most juicy and fruity side.
- P: very clean and pleasant, with a fresh but enveloping body, almost oily. The citrus is reaffirmed in the foreground, together – again – to the true protagonist, the malt: this however is more ‘vegetal’ here than on the nose, less from ‘distillery’: it has a very pleasant herbaceous sweetness. Sugary and dangerously drinkable. Herbal infusion; honey. The water does the same magic as the nose, opening on a caramel and still on the fruit.
- F: clean and delicate
