Tasting Notes
Imagine a bonfire by the sea, its smoky tendrils mingling with the salty air. That's the essence of this Caol Ila 16 Year Old, a single malt that takes you on a journey through the rugged Scottish coastline. The nose is a delightful interplay of peat, toffee sweetness, and tangy rhubarb crumble, with hints of zesty orange and briny seaweed. On the palate, caramel and cherries dance with nutmeg and rosemary, all underpinned by a veil of smoke that lingers. The finish is a smoky, spicy embrace, leaving you yearning for another sip. Aged for 16 years in a single first-fill oloroso sherry butt, this cask-strength whisky is a true testament to Caol Ila's mastery of balancing peat and sherry notes with finesse.
