Tasting Notes

This offering from independent bottler Càrn Mòr is a nine-year-old single malt whisky hailing from the renowned Caol Ila distillery on the island of Islay. Distilled in 2013, the spirit underwent a unique finishing process in a ruby Port cask, imparting rich and complex flavors to the already peaty and smoky character that Caol Ila is celebrated for. The result is a remarkable dram that strikes a delightful balance between the briny, iodine notes typical of Islay whiskies and the luscious, fruity notes imparted by the Port cask finish. With only 304 bottles released in 2022, this Strictly Limited expression from Càrn Mòr is a rare and coveted gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike, offering a unique and unforgettable taste experience that showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of Caol Ila and the innovative approach of independent bottlers.
