Tasted at The Old Port Bar at The Port Askaig Hotel on Islay. The Port Askaig brand is frequently Caol Ila. However, this is less smoky than other Caol Ila I've tried. So, it may be Bunnahabhain (it has some of that Bunna oiliness, funk and softer peat). The color is also very light yellow, which is odd for a 1st-fill sherry cask. The Port Askaig brand is bottled by Specialty Drinks Ltd.
