Caol Ila 11 y.o. Whiskyheroes: Widows Cove - Brave New Spirits
Special features: This 11-year-old single malt from the renowned Caol Ila Distillery is part of the exclusive Whiskyheroes series by the independent bottler Brave New Spirits. Bottled at cask strength with 50.4% ABV and without chill filtration or coloring, this whisky presents itself in its purest form. The maturation took place in a first-fill Fino hogshead, contributing to a unique variety of flavors.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: An elegant Islay smoke meets smoky almonds and earthy peat. Behind it lies a rich sweetness of dark honey, underpinned by PX-typical dark fruitiness.
- Palate: Powerful, yet very balanced: peat smoke and dried fruits intertwine. Cinnamon and cloves add warm accents, while the sherry sweetness rounds and carries the smoke.
- Finish: Long and harmonious: mild spices weave together with lingering smoke that slowly fades away, leaving a sweet-spicy trail.
Distillery/Bottler: The Caol Ila Distillery, founded in 1846, is located in a bay near Port Askaig on the Isle of Islay. It is known for its high-quality single malts, which are used in both its own bottlings and blends like Johnnie Walker. Brave New Spirits is an independent bottler based in Glasgow, specializing in the creation of unique whisky bottlings. With the Whiskyheroes series, Brave New Spirits presents a selection of single cask whiskies that stand out due to special cask maturations and limited editions.
