Caol Ila Spirit Of Scotland Single Cask #307585 Whisky 15 Year Old · 2010 Vintage

Colour

Warm amber-gold with coppery undertones, like glowing embers.

Nose

Coastal peat and smoke mingle with golden sultanas and blackcurrant; a savoury cured-meat depth lends ballast, while first-fill sherry adds warm spice and a resinous sweetness to the aroma.

Palate

Red berries mingle with festive spice and blood orange on an oily, coastal palate, where first-fill sherry adds depth and a buoyant, smoky backbone that carries through with saline, ember-laden warmth.

Finish

Long and crackling, a finish of glowing bonfire embers lingers, carrying Islay smoke with subtle sherry sweetness, coastal salinity, and a final kiss of festive spice, fading to a warm, resinous glow.
