Gordon & MacPhail Discovery Caol Ila 13 Year Old (Smoky) Islay Islands

Caol Ila makes the typically peaty style of Islay with more floral and apple flavours underneath than many others, so it feels brighter, breezier, more maritime and less macho than something like Bowmore or Lagavulin. This has delicate notes of daffodil and fresh apple underneath the salty smoke.
