Tasting Notes
Imagine yourself standing on the rugged shores of Islay, the salty sea breeze carrying the scent of sun-kissed strawberries and seaweed. That's the Caol Ila 9 Year Old 2010 - Hepburn's Choice, a liquid embodiment of the island's natural wonders. Pouring into your glass, the whisky unveils a delightful medley of strawberry tart sweetness, briny seaweed, and the warmth of savory oatcakes. As you sip, the coastal notes waltz with the richness of honey and the fruity tang of damson jam, creating a harmonious symphony. The finish lingers with the spiciness of cinnamon and smoked paprika, mellowed by a caramel embrace, leaving you longing for another sip of this Islay gem. Drawn from a wine cask in 2020 and bottled at 46% ABV, this independent bottling from Hepburn's Choice offers a truly unique and captivating experience.
