Tasting Notes
Imagine the briny essence of the sea, mingling with the warmth of baking spices and the earthy aroma of peat – that's the nose of this Caol Ila 14 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish (Darkness). As you sip, a symphony of flavors unfolds on your palate: tarry coals intertwine with the sweetness of poached stone fruits, runny caramel, and oaken vanilla, while waves of salted lemon add a refreshing twist. The finish lingers with vibrant citrus notes, flamed orange peels, tangy marmalade, and the comforting spices of toffee, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This single malt whisky, matured for 14 years and finished in an oloroso sherry octave, is a harmonious blend of peaty salinity and sherry cask influence, resulting in a delightfully complex and well-rounded dram that will transport you to the rugged shores of Islay.
