CAOL ILA 8 YEARS OLD - SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY BY THE SINGLE MALTS OF SCOTLAND

A small batch of six craft American standard barrels from Caol Ila Distillery have been used to create this Islay Single Malt, distilled in 2014 and aged for eight years. This is a fresh and smoky whisky, reminiscent of bonfires at the seaside.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Sweet smoke and maritime - A bonfire burns by the brisk ocean seaside. The sweet tanginess of lemon drizzle cake appears, complete with crunchy vanilla sugar glaze

Palate: Cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg accent this citrus-packed dram. Lemons and limes are joined by hints of glace ginger. Salty liquorice creates an almost electric-like current running through the background

Finish: Sweetness takes over, a juicy ripe pear sprinkled with flaked sea salt
