Hej til alle.
Jeg havde set at i denne uge havde superbrugsen Caol Ila 12 år i 1 liters flasker.
Pris 279 kr.
Stor var min overraskelse da jeg mødte op i brugsen og så at tilbudet var Caol Ila Distillers Edition 1996 bottlet i 2008. til 279,00 kr.
Tilbudet oplyste at det var med en rabat på 120 kr.
Nu skal jeg ikke afgøre om det er et røverkøb, men jeg vil mene at det er et rimelig godt tilbud, de der har fundet frem, men jeg tror også at der er sket en fejl ved leveringen til forretningen.
Den der er vist i annoncen er med gul etiket og Destillers Edition er med sort etiket.
Har forsøgt på nettet for at finde oplysning om pris uden resultat.

Lidt smagsnoter: (fra en internetbutik - så helt "ufarvet" er den nok ikke...)
Bottling Note
A sherry finished distillers edition from the Caol Ila distillery. Distilled in 1996, the Moscatel sherry has coalesced beautifully with the smoked power of the Islay single malt, the feinty notes are beautiful with cigar box and honey.
Tasting Note

Nose: Quite rich, great complexity. Fruit liqueurs emerge, sherry, smoke, medicinal, tarry. Black pepper.
Palate: Soft and round, pear, fruit salad, earthen. Unlit cigars, herbal, gentle peat smoke.
Finish: Long, thick, smoky, herbal, lavender and fennel.

Hej til alle.
Festen i min lokale superbrugs er forbi.
Da jeg skulle indløse min vinderkupon fra onsdags lotto (40 kr.)
Havde man opdaget fejlen og anskaffet den anoncerede 12 år's Caol Ila.
Og den som jeg havde købt til 279 kr. The Distillers Edition var blevet prissat påny 499 kr.
Der er altid nogne som skal være så irriterende nævenyttige.
Venlig hilsen

Flere smagsnoter fra Serge:
Caol Ila 1996/2008 'Distillers Edition' (43%, OB, C-si; 4-468) Finished in moscatel. Colour: pale gold. Nose: it seems that the amount of moscatel is now much lower than in earlier batches, and that's very good news if you ask me. We're rather close to the clean ‘naked' OBs, maybe somewhere between the 12 and the 18. Some coal smoke, ashes, seaweed, apple peeling and a little fresh butter just like in the 12. Also whiffs of eucalyptus (or cough syrup). Mouth: indeed, the wine's influence is rather discreet and this dram is very ‘Caol Ila'. Once again, it's a tad medicinal, smoky, almondy and lemony. Very good. Finish: medium long, smoky and almondy. A little curry in the aftertaste. Comments: I think the DE really improved (again, less wine in whisky always means progress in my view "“ not talking about sherry here). I had scored the first batch 82 but when I tried it again I thought I had been too generous. This time it's well worth a higher score and I won't change my mind . SGP:456 - 85 points.
