How it drinks

Pale gold; bourbon hogshead imparting light colour on young spirit
Nose
Classic young Caol Ila — lemon, vanilla, clean peat smoke. Bourbon cask influence brings vanilla and coconut. Maritime freshness
Palate
Vibrant and punchy at cask strength. Lemon citrus, vanilla, gentle peat smoke, and maritime character. Bourbon hogshead adds sweetness and roundness. Clean and focused
Finish
Medium finish with clean smoke, vanilla, and citrus fading. Coastal minerality and light pepper linger
