Caol Ila (bottled 2022) Double matured Moscatel Seasoned American Oak Cask – Distillers Edition

This is the Caol Ila ‘Distiller’s Edition’ single-malt whisky, released in 2022. It’s been double-matured, with a finishing spell in Moscatel-seasoned American oak casks. This results in a distinct fruity quality that nicely complements the distillery’s signature peat-smoke character.

Caol Ila (bottled 2022) Double matured Moscatel Seasoned American Oak Cask – Distillers Edition

Region: Isle of Islay

Nose: the classic briney notes and coastal peat are mixed with apricots and sweet lemons. Then also seaweed and damp ashes. Hints of dough and hay as well. It is fresh and clean, but also really light and a little boring.

Mouth: much rounder than a classic Caol Ila, with caramel and lemon candy, as well as pears. Hints of sweet oak. Then it turns to ashes and smoke with peppery notes. Some bread crust and milk chocolate towards the end. There is always a salty tingle too.

Finish: rather short and sweet. A hint of vanilla and lingering smoke.
