Single Malt Whiskey, Scotland / Islay
New twist in the survey! The case could not be closed without the culprit being unmasked. Chess Investigation returns with a seventh edition as dark as the crimes of its culprit, a 2007 vintage marked by 4 years of aging in first fill sherry casks. The combination of the gluttony of sherry and the power of peat tells us a little more about the culprit’s split personality. A strange harmony between these two profiles which are quite opposed but which complement each other wonderfully, and which transports us to a tasting of tremendous complexity. This results in an explosion of red fruits, raisins and dark chocolate that combine perfectly with the peaty, ashy and liquorice character emblematic of the Caol Ila distillery. A peat monster wrapped in sweetness.
