Caol Ila 100 Proof Edition #49 10 Year Old, Oloroso Sherry Cask, Cask #900199, 2014, Signatory Vintage, 57.1%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

84 / 100

Ripe red fruit and toasted orange bring a welcome bright edge to the sweet, coastal smoke. The palate turns darker with chocolate, tar and peat, so this leans more smoky and savoury than fruit-led, but the contrast sounds appealing.
