Everything about Caol Ila, on paper, without trying their whisky spells disaster. It’s massive amounts of whisky pumped out industrially owned by a large company.

And yet… dammit if I don’t really enjoy their whisky. So I guess I gotta stop judging books by covers and all that. Oh, how my life would be different.

So today I’m reviewingCaol Ila 12 2006 North Star, a younger, cask strength Caol Ila that was aged in ex-bourbon casks. I’m personally such a big fan of the old Caol Ila Cask Strength that I’m still looking for a replacement. Found a few, but it’s all about the journey. Yeah, that’s what keeps me drinking.

I mean, since I stopped working in marketing, that’s kinda correct.

Let’s see how it tastes, shall we?
