Caol Ila 2017 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old
Out of stock
An unpeated expression of Caol Ila and the twelfth released for the 2017 Diageo special releases series.
Aged for 18 years in refill American oak hogsheads, natural cask strength and the oldest expression of Caol Ila so far in this series.
Once a year the distillery swaps out its peated regimen for unpeated production in the "Highland Style"
Delightfully rich, with a fruitiness usually just hinted at in Caol Ila, it's a fine dram that's evenbetter with a drop of water.
Takes time and hides its beauty, but worth exploring.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold with delicate honey-straw warmth and a luminous sunlit glow.
Nose
A closed, tight nose that slowly opens to peppery spice and milk chocolate coins, woven with rich caramel and dark chocolate-dipped orange; a refined, fruit-forward bouquet that rewards patience.
Palate
On the palate, it opens softly, then the heat ramps up with peppery spice. Rich chocolate notes mingle with marshmallow sweetness, while a gentle smoke carries a light peat hit.
Finish
Lingering pepper spice tingles, leaving a final echo of dark chocolate orange.
