Tasting Notes

Nose

Aged peat, beeswax, maritime elegance. Twenty-five years have transformed the youthful Caol Ila smoke into something profoundly refined — still peaty, still maritime, but with a waxy, honeyed complexity that only decades of maturation can provide. Dried fruit, old leather and a gentle salinity beneath.

Palate

Elegant and complex — aged peat, honey, a gentle maritime character. The smoke has mellowed into a sophisticated layer rather than a dominant force, allowing the spirit's natural citrus brightness and the oak's vanilla sweetness to share the stage. Mid-palate brings dried fruit, gentle spice and a waxy, coating texture.

Finish

Very long, with aged peat elegance and maritime warmth sustaining in a graceful, extended fade.

Expert Review

8.5/10

A quarter-century of Islay peat — mellowed, maritime and magnificent.
