Caol Ila 11 Year Old (Special Release 2024)
Part of the Diageo Special Releases 2024, this Caol Ila is called Malt Master, an unpeated single malt made with short fermentation, cloudy worts and part-filled stills. This shorter fermentation and cloudy warts contributed to a creamy, nutty mouthfeel, while the carefully part-filled stills heightened copper contact to bring fresh green apple flavours and spicy notes.
Caol Ila 11 Year Old (Special Release 2024)
Region: Isle of Islay
A fresh, ethereal expression to raise you from the dark weathered rocks of the Islay coast, into beautifully hallowed skies. An indulgent feast for the senses as the clouds part.
Nose: Unexpectedly mild, with unusual nutty-spicy top notes that together suggest an old fashioned dairy, with a creamy cheese being made, open milk pans. A little water sweetens the nose, bringing up a light hint of fruit.
Palate: Smoothly creamy and mouth-filling and notably fruity and nutty in style. Lightly tannic and drying overall, with an oaky spiciness, this is a truly unusual and beautifully textured malt with layers of fruity, nutty flavour. A dash of water brings out more of the creamy, rich smoothness and emphasises the fruitiness.
Finish: Of a good length, again nutty, finishing dry and with a pinch of warming spice that carries on in the aftertaste. Similar, though shorter, with a drop of water.
