Tasting Notes
This single malt whisky from the acclaimed Caol Ila distillery on Islay is a true treasure for peat lovers. Meticulously crafted by the independent bottler Brave New Spirits, it showcases the robust character of Caol Ila's spirit expertly married with the rich, fruity notes imparted by its maturation in a first-fill Pedro Ximénez hogshead for 12 long years. The result is a captivating dram bursting with layers of smoky peat, complemented by hints of dried fruits, caramel, and a subtle maritime influence. Bottled at a robust 53.6% ABV, this whisky delivers an intense, unapologetic flavor experience that lingers pleasantly on the palate, making it a prized addition to any discerning whisky enthusiast's collection. With only 45 bottles released, this Whiskyheroes expression from Brave New Spirits is a rare gem not to be missed.
