Background: This is an 11 year old Caol ila bottling from IB Gordon and Macphail. It was aged in First Fill ex-bourbon barrels.
ABV: 54.1%
Nose: Peat, a king of sweetish peat, smoke, vanilla, salt, hint of grass.
Palate: Oily mouthfeel, BBQ esque peat, vanilla, smoke that lingers, hint of berries
Finish: Medium long, creamy vanilla, peat, smoke, hint of ash, and oak.
This is good, a nice mix of flavors. Nothing mind blowing to me at least this is easy to drink and hits all the right notes
