Diageo
Tasting Notes
A true enigma, Cladach unveils itself as a harmonious tapestry of coastal whisky wonders. The nose greets with a captivating blend of rich, dark fruits, reminiscent of a cozy bonfire evening, intertwined with the earthy scents of petrichor and leafy pine. As the aromas unfold, hints of briny seaweed mingle with the caramelized sweetness of salted caramel and the zesty citrus notes of orange oil, creating a symphony of complexities. On the palate, the smoky embrace of woodfire mingles with the luscious flavors of blackberry, stewed apple, and the indulgent richness of hard toffee, while glimpses of liquorice, honeycomb, and a refreshing dash of mint enliven the senses. The finish lingers with the gentle dryness of dark chocolate, a smoky veil, hints of dried orange peel, and a touch of vanilla, leaving a lasting impression of coastal mystique.
