Tasting Notes

Nose

Beeswax, lemon curd, fresh hay and white pepper. Vanilla and a faint waxed-paper note suggest refill American oak.

Palate

Rich and waxy with green apple, barley sugar, melon and grapefruit pith. The cask-strength delivery is mouth-coating rather than hot.

Finish

Medium-long, malty and clean, with lemon oil and a distant nutty warmth.

Caol Ila stripped of its peat and given seventeen years in oak — an Islay distillery in plain clothes, courtesy of Diageo's Special Releases.
