Appearance:Pale gold.
Nose:
Smoke and peat. Adding a few drops of water dramatically reduces the quality of the nose.
Palate:
The peat and smoke come through clearly in this very smooth scotch with buttery undertones. A few drops of water made this scotch markedly sweater and reduced the smokiness. The buttery undertones also intensified.
Finish:
The peat lingers for several minutes. With water, the buttery taste lingers as well.

Comment:
I've learned one lesson tonight - do not sully this spectacular scotch with even the smallest amount of water.
Grade: A

The Caol Ila 18 s one of the first two bottles I've bought, here in the beginning of my journey. I love it. Nice review.
