Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany edges.
Nose
Peat smoke and sea air mingle with medicinal notes as Oloroso sherry wraps dark fruit—prune, fig and raisin—lifted by toffee, cocoa and a hint of orange zest. Maritime brine and Caol Ila’s iodine linger, framed by warm oak spices for a richly layered, inviting nose.
Palate
Dense, sherried fruit and campfire smoke mingle on the palate. Rich dark plum and fig with cacao and almond notes, tempered by Caol Ila's signature peat and brine. Velvet mouthfeel, warming spice, integrated oak, and a long, smoky, chocolatey finish.
Finish
Long, warming finish with dark chocolate and dried fig lingering over a veil of Caol Ila smoke. Oloroso sherry sweetness threads through the peat, adding orange peel and almond notes, leaving a velvety, mineral warmth that lingers softly.
