Description
The Single Malts of Scotland Caol IIa 10 Year Old – This whisky was distilled in 2009 and aged in a single hogshead which yielded a total of 298 bottles. Taking you straight to the Sound of Islay, this is a classic fresh Caol Ila that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere.
Tasting Notes:
Nose – Dry smoke and a floral note of blooming dandelions drift over wet stones. Sea kelp, rock oysters, fresh cilantro dressing and lemon juice contrast with a hint of vanilla.
Palate – Springtime on Islay: all smouldering peat, green grass, limestone and sea salt. Silky mouthfeel with some whipped cream, mixed citrus peel, pear slices and sour rhubarb candies
Finish – The smoke slowly dies out into burnt orange, cardamom pod and torched pine splinters. Slightly flinty, bringing it back to the coastal elements where it all started.
