Суммаризация отзывов
По текстовым отзывам Caol Ila 1990 DeDr чаще описывают как фруктовый и торфяно-дымный виски с прибрежными и цитрусовыми нотами, маслянистым телом и средней/длинной финишной дымностью; несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают, что профиль ощущается не как типичный Caol Ila.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах некоторые повторяются фруктовые и цитрусовые описания (яблоко, груша, персик, абрикос, лимон/цедра, айва, иногда тропические фрукты), а также прибрежные и минеральные мотивы (морской бриз, соль, йод, мокрые камни, морские ракушки) вместе с торфом и дымом. Один из отзывов описывает нос как «really fruity», вкус — менее фруктовый и более торфяно-дымный к финишу; ещё один отзыв отмечает маслянистость, лёгкую сладость и более сильный торфяной дым во вкусе, чем в аромате; другой отзыв говорит о мощном торфе в аромате и, наоборот, едва уловимом торфе во вкусе, с очень длинным финишем. Один из отзывов описывает «lemon & peat for days», элегантные цитрусы и мягкий торф, а ещё один отзыв — прибрежный дым, цитрусы и косточковые фрукты при сдержанном торфе.
Оценки в текстах в основном высокие (от 87 до 93), но характер отзывов разный: другой отзыв — просто «absolute stunner», один из отзывов отмечает, что тело кажется бесструктурным, ещё один отзыв считает, что для «серьёзной работы» виски не подходит, но и не называет его посредственным, а другой отзыв считает финиш, возможно, слишком коротким. Один из отзывов прямо пишет, что профиль скорее ближе к Laphroaig, чем к Caol Ila, и что для 35-летнего виски он «not as grand»; ещё один отзыв также говорит, что это не типичный профиль Caol Ila и ближе к классическому 25-летнему. Другой отзыв не содержит вкусовых описаний. Поскольку текстовых отзывов много и в них есть повторяющиеся элементы, можно говорить о том, что в этих текстах видно согласованное ядро описаний, но формулировки о «консенсусе» здесь уместны только применительно к этим повторяющимся нотам, а не к единогласной экспертной оценке.

A 35yo CI isn't getting into my nosing glas every month - really fruity and good on the nose, less fruity on the palate but more peaty and smoky towards the finish - overall very good

| Нос | 92 | The aged aroma is mellow, without any alcoholic harshness; it's a ripe orchard scent with apple, pear, quince, pineapple, fresh lemon peel, and a distinct minerality. There's a barely perceptible hint of smoky peat and a subtle touch of sea breeze. A deeper sniff reveals a rich, fruity hard candy aroma. |
| Вкус | 91 | The oiliness is quite pronounced, still a rich yellow fruit, citrus, lemon peel, delicate sweetness, like eating a spoonful of apple jam sprinkled with a touch of sea salt. This is followed by the aroma of sunflower oil and mineral herbs, with a stronger peat smoke note than the aroma itself. |
| Финиш | 91 | The finish is long, warm, and dry, but the flavors are particularly concentrated. The quince lemon peel has a fresh, earthy, peaty flavor and a mild spice character. |
tasted with Caol ila 1992 Dedr this bottle is a furity peat old Caol ila with light body and impressive green apple finish.

coastal smoke, citrus, apple, pear, peach, apricot, rather restrained peat with added fruitiness, dangerously drinkable
A good Caol ila. Brilliant cask pick. Colour: Pale hay Nose: Sharp citrus notes, chalk, sea weed, brine, linseed oul, walnut, smoke, sharp smoke, bacon, green fruits, sage, thyme, leafy tobacco & rhubarb. Wet pebbles, sweet hay & pine nuts. More like Laphroaig with iodine, tincture & plasticine. Palate: A bit of stinging white pepper, rhubarb & peat. Tonnes of salt, green lime, rhubarb, smoke, seaweed, fennel, thyme & wet sand. Finish: Medicinal peat, more of tincture, green fruits, leafy tobacco, minerals and lime. Medium finish. Not as grand for a 35yo. More Laphroaig than Caol ila. A clean profile. Unmuddled. Pristine, Aged. Crisp. Good. A winner.

Fruity peat, somewhat reminiscent of Cao Lina's 82 flavor, with star fruit, wampee, and a smoky note that's quite good. It also has cream, osmanthus, and a full body despite its low alcohol content. Other notes include lisianthus and chrysanthemum tea.

coastal peat, citrus, mineraly
This is just olive oil, and citrus fruits, coastal vibes and pure class. Just beautiful.
https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2026/08/11/campbeltown-malts-fest-2026-watt/ N: Unctuous yet soft and meaty, sweet, fruity, perfumed,… nature’s work of art. T: Softer than expected, but when I think back to the bottles of official 25 I’ve enjoyed in the past [WLP188 / WLP290], I find this is even more enchanting. F: Refined sweet malt with [just] smoke at the tail; the balance exquisite. C: I had this down as best dram of the week on first sniff. For lighter wallets [rrp £495], there’s a younger, more affordable 19yo [up next] which some say is even better, but I stand firm.

An absolute stunner

It's pretty good, with a hint of aged liquor flavor, but the body feels structureless and I can't quite feel the 90.

You don't need to look for 35 years in it; it's good because it's good. Very pleasant and fruity, but this isn't a typical Caol Ila profile; it's closer to a classic 25-year-old. The alcohol content is very pleasant. It's a shame I don't have a whole bottle of this wonderful whisky.

The peat is quite powerful considering the age of the spirit, the first surprise. It's medicinal, like fuel oil and kerosene, with a beautiful balance of coastal, cliff, and quartz notes, ethereal iodine; there's still a tremendous amount of character, the second surprise. A hint of citrus, a very light touch of vanilla, gravel—the cask seems to have left very few marks, the third surprise. On the palate, it's the opposite: thick honey, pulpy fruit, with a touch of the exotic—banana, pineapple, white peaches, mirabelle plums, and ripe yellow plums. The peat is barely detectable, the spices very discreet; it's incredible. The finish is enormous, endless: candied lemon, sea spray, Breton biscuits, olive oil, crème brûlée, a drop of tar, mille-feuille. We have everything, the pure character of the distillery with its robust elements, a peat of great violence and without any compromise, but also superbly brought-in fruit and magnificent nuances. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2026/05/caol-ila-1990-whiskyland-chapter-twenty.html

Delicious old Caol Ila. Lemon & peat for days. Tasted from a 10ml sample.

| Нос | 88 | Fairly closed initially, lemon & vanilla. |
| Вкус | 91 | Sublime mouth feel - gorgeous elegance of citrus and soft peat. |
| Финиш | 89 | Peat that is restrained elegance, clean, medium to long finish. |
Since this is a work that claims to be serious, it must be assessed seriously. 35 years, after all! It's not good for serious work, but you can't call this whisky mediocre either! 22 22 22 21
