Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery sheen and burnished-gold glow.
Nose
Coastal Caol Ila peat, sea spray and iodine rise on the nose, brightened by citrus zest. Sherry‑seasoned American oak adds layered dried‑fruit sweetness—raisins, fig, prune—with spice notes of nutmeg and clove. Rich yet crystalline, the aroma balances maritime salt and smoke with elegant oak warmth, a refined Islay character wrapped in depth and clarity.
Palate
Rich and muscular on the palate, with coastal peat, sea-salt brine and a sherry-sheathed sweetness. Dried fig and raisin mingle with orange zest, cinnamon and delicate clove, while the American oak adds structure. Full, creamy weight with a maritime warmth that lingers in a long, balanced finish of smoke, citrus and oak.
Finish
Long, maritime, and smoky, the finish preserves Caol Ila’s coastal peat with a bright citrus glow. Dried fruit sweetness and spice—orange zest, fig, cinnamon—emerge from the sherry-influenced cask, leaving a saline ocean-washed echo that lingers with the distillery’s characteristic clarity.
