Tasting Notes

Nose

Strikingly pale — wet salty sand, gentle bonfire smoke, lemon sherbet, apple crumble with custard, dry grass

Palate

Smooth and gentle — sweet-and-salty with balancing acidity, sea breeze freshness, lemon meringue pie — restrained peat

Finish

Short, drying, warming — touch of bitterness, lingering light smoke

First Impressions

Caol Ila Moch — 'dawn.' First Caol Ila chosen on flavour. NAS, 43%.

Tasting

Pale salty nose. Gentle sweet-salty palate. Short drying finish. Easy-drinking Islay.

The Verdict

Caol Ila Moch earns a 7.5 — pulled-back, easy-drinking Islay at £58. Solid entry-Islay that doesn't sacrifice character.
