2012 Adelphi Caol Ila 10 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Other reviews... I've still got good eyes and yet I cannot seem to find the kind of cask on the minimalistic, quasi-Soviet label. Well, according to the colour, it is not a fourth-fill barrel… Colour: brown amber. Nose: fudge and caramel, exhaust (NOT sulphur), Ovaltine, copper polish, old walnuts and beef jerky. Looks like the cask had something to say. With water: the previous content too. Chlorine, walnuts, sorrel soup (love that mucho)… Mouth (neat): extremely thick, as if we were having pipe tobacco on canapés. Heavy dried prunes too, the craziest Ténarèze, morels, and three tons of old walnuts (we're not talking rock and roll here). With water: bresaola and Grisons meat, also prunes, more prunes, and even more prunes. Finish: long and thicker yet, concentrated, rather on cassis and blackberry jellies. Some old-style Jell-o when we weren't adding enough water, remember? Comments: Phineas Taylor Barnum's very own bottle of, what was it again? That's right, Caol Ila. Loved it! 88 points - whiskyfun.com
