Yes it's difficult to pick between these two young #islay 👶🏻 from the same private #italy #independentbottler.

#portellen 11yo
Nosing is oily smoke, iodine, seaweed and bit oaky. The palate is much peatier and touch of sweetness, spices. Um the finish is medium, rather short.

#caolila 6yo
Nosing is soft peated, flowers just like fragrance, a nice one. Palate is so rich and bold, some seaweed, sweet spices and fruitier at the end. Longer finish than PE, and peatier at the end.

To me, I will pick Caol ila and the Port Ellen one is not bad, but just bit young for its body, rather love its OB #specialrelease 😂 it's much elegant 🎩
