Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Smoky malt notes, complemented by salty sea breezes and hints of peat and herbs.
• Palate: Full-bodied with spicy, slightly sweet aromas, accompanied by intense peat freshness and fine vanilla.
• Finish: Long-lasting, powerful with warm, smoky notes and a hint of oak.

Distillery/Bottler: The Caol Ila Distillery, founded in 1846 on the east coast of Islay, is known for its maritime and peaty single malts. With a long history of changing ownership, it has become a major supplier of well-known blends such as Johnnie Walker. The distillery uses state-of-the-art technology and traditional artisanal processes to produce characterful whiskies with phenol content around 30 ppm. The clear water comes from nearby Loch nam Ban, and the malt comes from Port Ellen Maltings. The combination of modern distilling technology and the harsh island climate characterizes Caol Ila's distinctive style.
