A 30ml Sample of the Caol Ila 2000 SMWS 53.228 Cask Strength Single Malt. The SMWS team describe this as 'Sunshine all the way! Honey laced with saffron and turmeric drizzled over syrup pudding. Crème brûlée with baked banana and ginger cream. More heat developed with burning newspaper, hot flint and warm seashells. Short, hot and dry like gingerbread with olive oil and salted caramel. It opened up with water and exuded warmth. The panel imagined sipping American cream soda with fresh ginger sitting in the dunes of a links golf course in late summer. Smokiness appeared as warm brown paper and polished leather. They likened the finish to eating banoffee pie sitting in a heathery peat bog.'  Aged for 15 years in a refill hogshead and bottled in 2015 at a whopping 63.3%.
