Distilled at Caol Ila in 2010, this single malt spent the next 14 years maturing, including a finish in a single first-fill moscatel wine cask. A total of 257 bottles were drawn from the cask by Berry Bros. & Rudd for its independent Coasts & Shores collection.
Coastal brine and honeyed stone fruits are joined by notes of plump sultanas, and a whiff of delicate peat smoke.
Dense, and oily, with layers of sweet dried fruits, smoked almonds, and a touch of candied lemon. Earthy oak and smoke nestle in the depths, joined by rich dark chocolate.
The peat smoke fades while dark brown sugar, salted caramel, and prunes linger with a touch of pepper.
