Cask 88 Unfiltered 13 year old 2007 (Distilled at Caol Ila), 57.7%

Price: $125 Issue: Winter 2021 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick


Like a smokin' toffee apple, there's a linear penetration of smoke piercing the rich scents of black cherry, toffee cake, peppercorn, clove, peppermint, and menthol. The refill bourbon hogshead has provided a silky mouthfeel of stewed apple, plum, toffee, and aromatic spices, crowned by a sledgehammer of cloves, falling back with damson skin, plain chocolate, and smoke to finish.
