TASTING NOTES
NOSE: The nose opens with characteristic Caol Ila notes: an enticing blend of peaty smoke, fresh lime, and sea brine. As the aroma evolves, subtle touches of vanilla and warm spices emerge, creating a rich and complex bouquet.
PALATE: On the palate, this whisky reveals a savory complexity with nuances of smoked mackerel and hemp rope, enriched by a delicate smoke of bacon. Touches of citrus seaweed and oysters harmoniously blend with notes of caramel and sticky gingerbread, while the soft, mellow oak adds extra depth.
FINISH: The finish is long and warm, lingering with notes of peat, caramel, and a slight salinity. Accents of peat ash and a slight dryness at the end prolong the sensory experience, inviting another sip.
