Caol Ila 11 Year Old Special Release 2024
Caol Ila 11 Year Old Special Release 2024
Description:
Discover the Caol Ila 11 Year Old Special Release 2024, a unique expression from the renowned Islay distillery. This single malt Scotch whisky is part of the Diageo Special Releases 2024 collection, showcasing rare and innovative expressions. Unlike traditional Caol Ila whiskies, this unpeated version offers a nutty flavor profile with hints of walnuts, hazelnuts, and caramelized almonds.
The whisky is matured in a mix of refill casks, rejuvenated casks, and rejuvenated ex-wine casks in both American and European oak, adding complexity and depth to its taste. On the nose, you'll find butter cookies, vanilla, pepper, and dried grassy notes, with a subtle hint of wine. The palate is rich with toffee, nutmeg, clove, latte, milk chocolate, and a touch of lemon, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
The finish is medium-length, with baking spice, coffee, and wine tannins, making it a truly unique and educational whisky. Approach with caution, as this Caol Ila Special Release is not your typical Islay whisky but offers a delightful surprise for those willing to explore.
