Caol Ila Dun Bheagan Single Cask #4115 Whisky 25 Year Old · 1989 Vintage

Colour

Burnished gold with warm amber and copper edges; a sun-lit, honey-deep colour that hints at sherry influence.

Nose

Intense peat and maritime funk open the nose, with iodine, sea-salt and smoke curling around a core of rich sherry sweetness. Dried fig and raisin mingle with orange zest, vanilla and spice, while subtle medicinal notes soften into oak and ash. A coastal, luxurious aroma that hints at age, balance and depth.

Palate

Coastal peat and iodine lift the opening, threaded with sherry-softened fruit—fig and raisin—while dark chocolate, espresso and toasted oak add depth. The mid-palate carries a briny sweetness, underlined by subtle spice, before a long, smoky finish with mineral notes.

Finish

Long, coastal finish built on Caol Ila peat and sea-salt. Sherry-cask depth reveals dried fig, raisin and cocoa, with vanilla and spice weaving through smoky, resinous oak. The peat lingers, saline and elegant, tapering to a refined, honeyed fade.
