ELASTOPLAST ON A ROASTED TONGUE: 59.3% after maturing 18 years in a Refill Sherry Butt. "The palate was undoubtedly big, even tongue-roasting – sweet and salty with ash, tar, kiln smoke, aniseed and liquorice allsorts."

Caol Ila Unpeated 14 Year
$120.59
This the latest incarnation of the yearly cask strength 'unpeated' Caol Ila produced as part of Diageo's Special Releases selection. This offering has been aged for 14 years in ex-sherry casks, filled in 1997. There's not a lot of sherried Caol Ila out there which makes this one a particularly good choice.Palate: Immediate and intense: a smooth texture, with rich sweetness; gooseberry crumble or crisp, white grapes are the jewels in a rich, honeyed setting. Becoming bitter-sweet (more treacle toffee), all with a distinct, drying maritime saltiness. In all, a warming and spicy mouthfeel.

Distillery's Tasting Note
Nose: Big hit of crème brûlée with lots of caramelised sugar. Then slightly grassy, some jasmine and crisp green apple.
Palate: At first fresh citrus and mint, then sweet with leathery notes, becoming buttery.
Finish: Sweet caramel, oak and more menthol notes at the end.
Comment: A decent well balanced dram.
Ardbeg Galileo
$108.89
A limited release of Ardbeg released to celebrate the first whisky sent into space! 1999 vintage bottled in 2012 after maturing in Bourbon and Marsala cask. It disappeared very quickly but has briefly reappeared for a final appearance at KWM. This 11 year old has been bottled at 49%. Matured in a mix of Bourbon and Madeira casks.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: surprisingly mellow for Ardbeg (but not Blasda mellow), lots of barley sugar, biscuitty peat, chocolate orange and candied coated fennel; very fruity with raisins and figs, ripe oranges and grape fruits, and mixed berries.
Palate: creamy, earthy, peaty, sweet and spicy all at once; the citrus fruits, creamy vanilla and chocolate are all there but loosely buried under the surging peat and barley; more candied fennel along with oily-heathery-peat.
Finish: drying, peaty and still sweet showing more chocolate, fennel and orange and lime peels.
Comments: this whisky will soar like a rocket!
