Nose A very interesting, spicy and rather herbal nose for a Caol Ila. Hints of aniseed, taragon, maybe even turmeric, alongside seaweed, buttery toffee, citrus, manuka honey and smoke on sea air.
Palate Stem ginger, toffee, salinity and sweet smoke. Old ropes, salty butter, freshly cut hay and pepper.
Finish Good length with notes of malt, toffee apple, spices and a little mustard powder!
