A fantastic expression of one of Islay's most under-rated malts. Finished in dark moscatel casks which give some sweet grape flavours along with hints of moscovado sugar.

APPEARANCE: Clear gold

NOSE:Wonderfully concentrated pure, clean Caol Ila – peaty and medicinal, with rich fruit, spicy and fragrant. With water, the fragrant smokiness comes singing through.

 BODY:Medium.

 PALATE: Sweetness and maltiness strike first, then are quickly overwhelmed by peat smoke and intense, clean, crisp flavours. Caol Ila’s signature smoky bonfires are here, and build to quite a size. Overall, drying, in a beautifully balanced, complex, elegant development, complemented with cinnamon spice.

FINISH: Long, rounded, robust and multi-layered.
