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

Expert Review

7.5/10

Gaelic for 'dawn.' First Caol Ila chosen entirely on flavour rather than age, cask, strength or finish. A lighter, gentler take on the Islay distillery's typical peat-forward profile. NAS, core range. 43%. Pulled-back, easy-drinking Islay that loses peat without losing character.
