Caol Ila 12 Yr. SMOS Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Single Malts of Scotland Reserve Casks. USA Exclusive. Rich BBQ smoked cherries poached in wine. Tropical fruit juice cuts through peppery notes of Cinnamon and sticky caramel – combining to create depth of flavour through layers of smoke.

PALATE: BBQ smoke turns more to bonfire with driftwood and hints of sea air. Charred mackerel served with a squeeze of lemon and a touch of spice is contrasted against Bramble tea. A luscious spoonful of marmalade hides in the background. FINISH: Lovely and long. Fruit fades to leave a more floral note – rose petal with a hint of crystallized ginger. Distilled: 2010. Bottled 2023 48% ABV.

A small batch of six hogsheads from Caol Ila distillery has been used to create this Islay Single Malt, distilled in 2010 and aged for twelve years. Hiding at the bottom of the cliffs by Port Askaig on Islay’s eastern shore, Caol Ila has a reputation for producing smoky, maritime whiskies of elegance and poise. Importer Notes
