The collaboration between concentrated fruits and peat left a good impression. Caol Ila 1982-2013 La Maison du Whisky ARTIST#3 #6488 54.4% one of 228 bottles, Refill Hogshead The aroma is strongly fruity with a slightly concentrated citrus note, freshness, white flowers, dry strong barley, and smoky, dominant peat. When drinking, the fruity notes feel condensed with a powdery sensation, a moderate sweetness, smoky peat, and the umami of barley and dashi are well present. The body is also solid. 【Good/Very Good】 This Caol Ila 1982-2013 was bottled by the signature for La Maison du Whisky's ARTIST#3 series. The aroma has a fairly strong fruitiness, and I felt a sense of concentration in the citrus. The peat also strongly asserts itself. When drinking, I felt a greater sense of concentration in the fruits than imagined from the aroma, and the powdery sensation was also impressive. The power and peat typical of an Islay cask strength were sufficiently felt, making for a delicious Caol Ila. #Caol Ila (CAOL ILA)
