Caol Ila
Tasting Notes
Imagine the salty sea breeze caressing your face, intertwined with the smoky aroma of a crackling bonfire on a sandy beach. This Caol Ila 12 Year Old 2010 Tulip Edition captures the essence of Islay's rugged coastline in every sip. The nose greets you with rich oak char notes, mingling with the tangy salinity of lemons and the luscious sweetness of fresh plums, all enveloped in a delicate veil of coastal peat smoke. On the palate, a burst of red berry sweetness and a hint of grenadine dance harmoniously with the smouldering peat smoke and robust roasted malt. As the flavors linger, the finish evokes memories of a beachside bonfire, with soft salinity and candied citrus and fruit crumble notes skillfully balanced by a gentle prickle of spice. An exceptional independent bottling from DS Tayman, this Caol Ila single malt offers a captivating balance of coastal smoke and rich fruit, with only 389 bottles released to the world.
