Tasting Notes

Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange
- Nose
  
  Incense, candied lemon and biscuity grain are joined by soft liquorice-root sweetness and earthy peat smoke. Notes of sea-spray, gravel and dark chocolate build, with toffee apples and lime following.

- Finish
  
  A touch of floral sweetness lingers, as burning rose bushes, liquorice and chocolate fade.
- Comment
  
  A classic, coastal Caol Ila, packed with citrus, minerality, sea-spray and tarry smoke.
