Tasting notes：

Nose: It's not the sherry that dominatesfirst, it's rather small minty herbs that then lead to greenwalnuts, which in turn lead to superb medicinal touches.cough syrup, camphor, eucalyptus, essential oils forinhalations...

Palate:  Masterful, already evolved indeed (inthe right sense), with lots of candied citron, small aromaticherbs, green bananas, and grapefruit. The peat remainspowerful and the walnuts accompany it all. With water:fantastic citrus of all kinds, accompanied by fresh mintseawater, oysters, and green walnuts.

Finish: Salt arrivesmajestically, reminding us that Caol lla is a coastal distillery.
