Aquila 12 Year Old Whisky
Aquila
Tasting Notes
This exquisite 12-year-old single malt whisky from the Scottish Highlands is a true masterpiece. Upon pouring, it unveils an alluring aroma of polished wood, succulent stone fruits, and a delightful hint of capsicum skin, intertwined with notes of chili chocolate and a touch of cassis for depth. The first sip unveils a harmonious blend of floral honey, greengages, and dry roasted peanuts, with layers of earthy roasted red chili and a subtle hint of five-spice adding complexity. As the whisky lingers on the palate, the finish reveals drying oak and a touch of charcoal, complemented by the lingering notes of underripe green apple, runny honey, and those captivating chili nuances. Matured for 12 years, including a generous period in fresh oloroso sherry casks, this whisky delivers a powerful yet silky profile, where floral honey and roasted nuts seamlessly balance the aromatic oak and roasted chili flavors.
