Tasting Notes
Caol Ila 8 Year Old 2014 by North Star Spirits is a captivating whisky that unleashes the rugged charm of Islay. The nose greets you with a hearty embrace of peat smoke, earthy ash, and stewed berries, intertwined with roasted barley and hints of marmalade. On the palate, peppery oak and meaty smoke dance alongside redcurrant jelly, drying oak, and old leather, while crackling bonfire embers linger in the depths. The finish is a delightful lingering sensation of peat and ash, bolstered by a harmonious balance of warming spice and vinous fruit. This single malt, distilled in 2014 and aged in a Port octave cask, offers a unique expression of Caol Ila's character, with jammy red fruit notes complementing the trademark smoky and meaty flavors. A limited release of 220 bottles, this whisky is a must-try for peat lovers and those seeking a robust and flavorful dram.
