Elements of Islay Cl13 (Caol Ila)

A spicy Caol Ila, made up of whisky distilled between 2010 and 2011, and aged in oak hogsheads and ex-sherry butts for more than nine years. Doing justice to the true essence of Caol Ila, this whisky brings together fiery and coastal elements with a generous helping of soft smoke. 1060 bottles produced.

Core Flavour - Chili spice, coastal saltiness, gentle smoke.
Nose - Spicy pork on the BBQ with notes of smoked paprika, cracked black pepper and lime juice. Hot chocolate with chilli powder and caramelised hazelnuts, accented by sea-spray freshness.
Palate - Slightly oily with spices, green pepper and rustic salt-and-pepper crisps. A sweetness develops, with dusty chocolate and freeze-dried raspberries wrapped in wood smoke.
Finish - The spice lingers, accompanied by a dry, salty tang.

Ideal to be paired with Speyside Chocolate from Chocisky.

Distilled at Caol Ila Distillery, bottled by Elixir Distillers in their Elements of Islay range
