Caol Ila 9 Year Old Tasting Notes

Nose: If you ever wanted to get excited by a dram from the very get-go go then you have just found it! The perfect marriage of peat and sweet. Salt caramel, cigar smoke and mouth-watering stone fruit.

Palate: The taste brings everything that you enjoyed in the nose to the table but with a heightened experience. It is the salt caramel that shows first but the cigar smoke on the nose is now more a cigar ash. With the addition of desert fruits this is one that you will want to enjoy for a very long time.

Finish: The easy way to answer this is to say “ask me next week when it has finished”. A massive finish with all that went before it coming together for a sensation that is every bit as enjoyable as the palate. Sublime!
