Tasting Notes

"Looking for something coastal? Then this is your whisky. A light sea breeze, some seaweed, and plenty of brine, as well as peat of course. But there's more, as notes of pickled lemons and lime juice give this Caol Ila a fruity edge. The peat smoke on the palate is elegantly intertwined with bitter lemon and grapefruit, as well as a pinch of salt. Great value for money."
