Tasting Notes
Imagine a warm summer day by the seaside, the gentle breeze carrying the scent of citrus groves intermixed with the smoky aroma of burning peat. That's the captivating essence of the Caol Ila 1998 - Fèis Ìle 2015 whisky. Distilled in 1998 and matured in a unique combination of American oak, moscatel casks, and old sherry puncheons, this dram is a true celebration of flavors. Upon the first sip, earthy and smoky notes envelop the palate, giving way to a luscious vinous character reminiscent of aged wine. As the whisky lingers, hints of pepper, red fruit, and dark spices tantalize the senses, leaving a lasting impression of complexity and depth. At a natural cask strength of 57.3% abv, this whisky is a bold and unapologetic expression of Islay's rugged beauty.
