Caol Ila 2010 10 Year Old Single & Single

This 2010 Caol Ila single malt from independent bottler Single & Single was aged for a decade in a single American oak hogshead before being bottled at cask strength. The nose is filled with rich, sooty smoke, tart gooseberries, salty sea air, and liquorice, while the palate offers notes of aniseed, warm smoke, eucalyptus, peppermint, and Lapsang Souchong tea. The finish is smoky with hints of star anise. This smoky and spicy single malt is best paired with blue Gorgonzola-style cheeses and spicy, fatty salamis for a perfect pairing.
