Tasting Notes
With a delightful aroma reminiscent of lemon sherbet and apple crumble topped with custard, Caol Ila Moch captivates the senses from the first whiff. The dry grass notes lend an earthy undertone, yet there's not a hint of the smoky character typically associated with Islay whiskies. On the palate, the sweetness of lemon meringue pie dances across the tongue, accompanied by a remarkably soft and velvety mouthfeel. Just as you're reveling in the delicate flavors, a gentle peat presence emerges, but it's far from overpowering – a soothing wood smoke akin to a cozy campfire rather than a burning tire. Remarkably, the whisky retains its innate sweetness throughout, creating a harmonious balance. The finish culminates in a soft, drying smoke, leaving a lingering warmth and a desire for another sip of this captivating dram that embodies the dawn, as its Gaelic name suggests.
