caol ila whisky reserve 1984

caol ila whisky reserve 1984 Nose: beautifully elegant AND mellow. Gentle medicinal notes, pretty rounded mineral notes AND sweet peat. A nice coastal theme too. Lemon AND hints OF carbolic soap IN the background. Beautiful hint OF ripe banana AND butter too. Aniseed AND mint. Almonds. Quite complex AND well integrated. Mouth: punchier, slightly sharper too, WITH peat, smoked fish, still SOME medicinal notes AND citrus. A light saltiness. Fades ON ashes AND gentle herbs. Liquorice AND ginger. Finish: long, ON a nice salt & pepper combo AND lingering peat.
