We like to celebrate Black Friday with an excellent dram and 2022's smoky selection is the first Islay in the series. A classic single malt from the Caol Ila distillery run through with peat smoke, briny sea breezes and a whole host of fruit, it's a whisky that made us smile and one we know you'll love too.

Tasting Notes

Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange

Nose
Smouldering green leaves and a side of smoke lead – mint and tarragon with a touch of maple-cured bacon. Sweet pastry pokes through the smoke, followed by apple and pear pies, roasted pineapple, singed oranges, chocolate lime sweets and a handful of wine gums. Tarry ropes and briny hints hide at the back.
-
Palate
Smouldering green leaves and a side of smoke lead – mint and tarragon with a touch of maple-cured bacon. Sweet pastry pokes through the smoke, followed by apple and pear pies, roasted pineapple, singed oranges, chocolate lime sweets and a handful of wine gums. Tarry ropes and briny hints hide at the back.
-
Finish
Green and briny at first with building cocoa, lime and sharp apple. Oatcakes and rye crackers build alongside anise and mint imperials.

Nose is spicy, floral, with a hint of berries. The peat smells more medicinal that smoky. The palate is complex. Lots of floral, spice, and fruit flavors. It has a long smoky finish with some fruitiness and some strong floral notes lingering. Tastes more like a Bowmore than a Caol Ila. Adding water makes it taste like Croftengea but with a longer mintier finish. I really like last years and I was kind of bummed this year’s was peated, but it’s a terrific bottle.
