Tasting Notes
This Caol Ila 7 Year Old 2013 single malt whisky from North Star Spirits is a fiery and complex dram that will delight any peat lover. The nose is a captivating fusion of smoky aromas, with notes of charred citrus, a crackling bonfire, damp oak, and earthy mushrooms. On the palate, it delivers a bold punch of burnt rubber and smoked meats, balanced by the sweetness of blackcurrant jam, tropical fruit, and a peppery kick. The finish lingers with woody herb stalks, a zesty lime peel, and a touch of buttery oak that mingles harmoniously with the ever-present veil of smoke. This cask-strength beauty, bottled at a robust 60.9% ABV, showcases the distillery's signature smoky character while offering a unique and flavorful journey through its seven years of maturation in a refill sherry butt.
