Caol Ila 12 Years 2011 SMOS Cask #301247 70 cl. 60,7%
Single Malt Scotch Whisky
From a single cask, this Caol Ila, distilled in 2011 and bottled at its natural strength of 60.7%, has aged for twelve years in a first-fill ex-Sherry cask. Hidden at the foot of the cliffs near Port Askaig on Islay’s east coast, Caol Ila is known for producing maritime whiskies with an elegant and lingering peat smoke.
On the nose, aromas of fruitcake, dark chocolate, buttery malt, and licorice. On the palate, notes of dark chocolate truffles, orange, lime, autumn bonfires, sweet pastries, licorice, and bacon.

Palate: Spiced fruitcake with notes of candied pineapple, salted dark chocolate, dates, dried orange, lime, bacon, and peat smoke.
