Tasting Notes

Nose

Lemon barley water, fresh hay, a wisp of buttered shortbread and a curiously clean salinity. Without the smoke, the distillery character stands stripped to its bones.

Palate

Big and oily at full strength — pear drops, vanilla custard, white pepper and a faint mineral tang. Water releases more orchard fruit and a chalky, almost flinty texture.

Finish

Long, dry, gently grassy, with a final tingle of citrus pith and oak spice.

Expert Review

8.2/10

A natural cask-strength glimpse of Caol Ila's other half — the unpeated spirit Diageo distils each spring for blending, here aged fifteen years in refill American oak.
