Cl12 - Elements of Islay (Caol Ila)
Here we have Cl12, the twelth wonderful batch of this particular expression from Elements of Islay. Let's be real, after 12 batches we all know by now that Cl stands for Caol Ila. The single malt was distilled on Islay in 2011 and was then allowed to mature for seven years in a pair of refill sherry butts. Finally, the whisky was bottled at cask strength, 57.5% ABV.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Lots of orange citrus, with candied orange and orange peel, with bitter dark chocolate and earthy smoky notes.
Palate
Fresh and salty sea air, with green herbaceous notes, super earthy peat and freshly cut grass, with some dried fruit sweetness.
Finish
Some rich, jammy berries linger alongside delicate smoke.
