Product Description

A nine-year-old Caol Ila single malt from the Whisky Show 2022 bottlings, this brilliantly intense whisky was distilled in 2013 and matured in a single hogshead.

Tasting Notes

Joe Rogers, The Whisky Exchange
- Nose
  Coal smoke and brick dust, with a little resin and sea spray – definitely Caol Ila. The smoke is followed by fermented notes of sourdough and parmesan with a little preserved lemon.
- Palate
  Burning juniper branches with a little dry pipe tobacco and some hoppy brown ale. With water a more herbal side comes forward with mustard greens, menthol and bitter roots like an old-school Italian amaro.
- Finish
  Long and drying with lingering charcoal embers, orange syrup and rich umami.
