Молодой торфяной Caol Ila с хересным довеском — дымная сладость, красные ягоды, солёно-морская кромка. Единодушно вкусный и выгодный по цене, но простой; спор лишь о заниженных до 43% градусах.
развернуть подробно
В аромате раскрывается сладкий торфяной дым с оттенками костра на пляже, копчёного мяса и бекона, поверх дровяной ноты ложатся красные ягоды, тёмные фрукты (сливовое варенье, инжир, вишня), цитрусовые, орехи, ирис и солёный морской бриз; опытные ревьюеры особо отмечают богатство и переменчивость носа, вплоть до неожиданных вспышек свежего лимона и цветочных тонов, а также характерную «машинно-масляную» грязноватую кромку. Во вкусе — сладкое хересное начало, холодный пепельно-дымный тон, красные ягоды с уклоном в кислинку, дубовая пряность с перцем и корицей, кофе, тёмный шоколад и орехи; послевкусие большинство считает на удивление долгим и кремовым (табак, ваниль, жжёное дерево, цитрусовая цедра), хотя часть авторов находит его коротковатым и быстро угасающим.
Оценки плотно сгруппированы в диапазоне 83–88 при среднем около 86, и опытные держатся ближе к верхней границе (87–88), тогда как отдельные критические 83–85 сходятся в одном: интеграция торфа и хереса удачна, но 43% крадут мощь заведомо «мускулистого» спирта — при 46–50% вкус и послевкусие не отставали бы так заметно от притягательного носа, и несколько раз звучит, что это скорее вводный малт для новичков и что чувствуется хересная «домучивающая» дображка, а не полная выдержка, местами прикрывающая молодость и лёгкую спиртуозность сахаром. Расхождений по профилю почти нет — общий вывод согласован: питкий, гармоничный дымно-хересный Caol Ila с отличным соотношением цены и качества, не претендующий на сложность.

Very nice whisky, certainly the nose is very versatile, but also in taste a lot to experience. Very pleasant combo of peat, red fruits and sweet notes with a creamy structure.

Smoke, peat, roasted met, bacon, a lot of berries. Then suddenly whiffs of very fresh lemon detergent. Floral touches, fudge, caramel. Also some waffle sweetness, powder sugar. Very rich and versatile. |

A very drinkable and delicious Caol Ila. Quite mild/soft on the palate and not a monster of complexity either, but that was hardly to be expected. Nevertheless at the price a nice easy-drinking smoker that is simply delicious. So in terms of PGV a bottle that moves in with me.

This is a really tasty drink, and a nice smooth sherry smoke combo. Of course, it's not exactly mega-complex. It's very tasty. And very successful for what he can do: entertaining! :)

This is a smooth smoker that delivers exactly what it says and what you expect. The Coal Ila character still comes through clearly. I suspect the finish was very long. But it makes him interesting. For 9 years and finish, but only 43% is the asking price, but IMO also paid okay. But I don't need it in my closet.

Citrus and smoke in the mouth, you don't notice anything about the finish yet, slightly thin, but then of good intensity, red fruits come through delicately, strong ashy smoke, pebbles and coastal aromas |

The combination of sherry and smoke works well for me. Nice and harmonious and well-rounded. Gives me what I expected or was hoping for at this price. A few percent more wouldn't be a bad thing.

Sweet, aromatic, somewhat maritime, pleasant smell. Dark fruity with dates, plum jam and cherries. The peat smell is also rather sweet. There is also some toffee, iodine and nuts. Something reminiscent of dark gravy and even smoked bacon. |

Nice, quite intense sherry sweetness at the start. There is also a cold, ash-like smoke in the mouth. At first the whole thing seems slightly spicy with a little pepper and cinnamon, then it becomes a little thin. Fruity notes tend towards the sour side. Citrus fruits, currants and also dark cherries are present. With a little more time, more red fruits come through. The smoke also becomes a little more intense. Coffee and nuts come through in the background. |

Medium-long finish, cool-smoky, lemons, nuts, roasted almonds, cinnamon, some charred wood, |
Very good price-quality ratio. I love this style, well sherried Caol ila in my opinion. Rated 86 points, but actually more up to 87. Anyway…cheers
A no brainer, considering it's price/quality ratio! It has a perfect sherry touch, leaving enough room for the Caol Ila flavours. The chosen percentage suits just fine, the alcohol is very well integrated!
For just under €55, this young Caol Ila offers quite a lot. Sherry influence is there, harmonizes very well with the whisky.

Very tasty, a little more percentage would have done it good, but at 43% it was also good to drink and a nice sherry whisky with a good portion of smoke.

Tasted at Sherry Butt, Paris, 05/23.
Exceptionally beautiful nose that combines a beautiful peaty character with the subtly fruity tone of the sherry casks. A successful integration of what are usually two extremes. But then it's time to take a sip. For an Islay whisky bottling at 43 percent is a huge waste of potency. You can tell this is a muscular whisky, probably too beastly at cask strength, but at 46 or 50 percent, taste and finish were never quite so far behind the attractive aroma that emanates from your glass. This Signatory has in fact become a great introductory malt for beginners. Nothing wrong with that.
Great Caol Ila! The sherry invluence is not to heavy, you can still taste the Caol Ila character. For 43% it has a lot of flavor, also the finish is nice and long.

Smoke and sherry in a very nice combination. Simple and relaxing for sipping. The bottle won't last long.
N: Mocca, raisins, pine tar, subdued maritime peatsmoke, some whiffs of sea air, raisins, plum jam, ground coffeebeans, cream sherry, balsamico. theres a slight hint of alcoholic burn, which shows the rather young age of the spirit. You clearly feel that this is a wet cask finish rather than a full term maturation in sherry wood. The sherry dominates the subtle aspects of the spirit almost completely. Far from unpleasant but not the most complex Caol Ila for sure. M: Sweet arrival on pure cream sherry. Dark chocolate, espresso, peatsmoke, salt and pepper, astringent wet earth, dark cask aged stout beer, maple sirup, dark cherries charred oak. The high sugar content of the sherry coats and hides the youthness of the spirit. The rather low ABV adds to the feeling of sipping sherry rather than Malt Whisky and gives a creamy, velvety mouthfeel. The salty, maritime edge of the Caol Ila adds some complexity and makes it more interesting. F: Short finish on coffee liqueur, salty and ashy peatsmoke and toasted oak.
Beautiful whisky with an excellent performance for the price.

Quite long and nearly no bitter notes. Citrus zest, nuts and burnt wood, a hint of berries and very beautiful within the mouthfeel. |
With this Caol Ila everything is actually right, a nice interplay of dried fruits, slightly greasy smoke, dark chocolate and malt. Pleasantly creamy and with a surprisingly long finish. The whole thing was simply delicious and at a good price for today's time.
Very drinkable to say at least. A 9 year old Caol Ila which probably would've managed without the sherry cask finish. However, this brings a magnificent color, and indeed, the sweetness as expected. The good part is, it didn't bring the price tag associated with the sherry tag these days. And seeing how quick this one went, seems there is a good market for proper 50/60 euro bottles (hint hint). So, nice and peaty on the nose, and as mentioned, sweet sherry notes on the palate in combination with the smokiness. Finish is not too long.
