Tasting Notes
Colour
Warm, deep amber with copper-bronze highlights and a gentle mahogany glow.
Nose
Maritime peat smoke frames the nose, married to the warmth of oloroso maturation. Dried fruits—fig, raisin, prune—rise with dark toffee and spice, while a whisper of cacao lingers, finished with a bright, peppery, briny lift.
Palate
The palate unfolds with Caol Ila’s smoky, peppery spine, tempered by oloroso-sherry richness. Dried fruit notes—dark cherry, prune, fig—drift over a maritime, slightly salty frame. Full-bodied and warming at 57.1% ABV, the peat and spice linger with a long, polished finish.
Finish
Long, smoky finish with Caol Ila’s coastal peat driving the warmth. Oloroso sherry sweetness lingers through dried fruits—raisins, dates, figs—while peppery spice and a saline tang fade gradually, leaving an inviting, lingering kiss of smoke.
