Tasting Notes

NOSE: Fruity toffee and pine needles – Christmas stocking treats eaten under the tree. Behind that initial hit are farmy notes, sweet meadow flowers and grass, with a hint of distant smoke sitting at the back. It continues to develop, with lemon and lime zest appearing along with more pine notes and rosy touches. PALATE: Big and thick, with spiced toffee and white pepper. It’s concentrated and can take water well, revealing chocolate, more toffee and a mezcal herbaceousness. FINISH: Lingering but straightforward, with pepper and dark chocolate.

Caol Ila 15 Year Old Unpeated Islay single malt Scotch whisky. Matured in American- and European-oak casks selected for the Diageo Special Release 2016 series.

Renowned for crafting both peated and unpeated expressions, Caol Ila offers iconic releases like the 12 Year Old and the Distiller’s Edition. Each year, the distillery plays a prominent role in Feis Ile, the Islay Festival of Malt and Music, delighting enthusiasts worldwide with its Islay single malt heritage and coastal charm.
