Product Description
2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Winner
With a subdued, citric fruitiness and a sweet start, our whisky ends with a lengthy, slightly sour finish. Consider pairing this whisky with the provincial olive dish, tapenade, which helps bring out Caol Ila's peaty and salty notes, while the mix of capers and herbs accentuates the citrus flavors.

Wine EnthusiastA seductive brininess and waves of oily peat-reek greet the olfactory sense. The palate entry finds a surprisingly buttery-creamy leaning along with the peat-reek; at midpalate the flavor becomes concentrated, oily, malty sweet, and only moderately peaty. Ends on a sweet malty note. Builds from stage to stage, each phase being better than the last. Best Buy.
Single malt whiskey, a pinnacle of craftsmanship, is exclusively distilled at a single distillery from 100% malted barley. This meticulous process imparts a unique character, reflecting the distillery's location, climate, and traditional methods. As it matures in oak barrels, it develops a complex flavor profile with malt sweetness, fruity notes, and hints of oak. Cherished for its quality and depth, single malt whiskey embodies a distillery's artistry and distinct terroir. Whether enjoyed neat, with water, or in a cocktail, it symbolizes tradition, expertise, and the rich heritage of whiskey-making.
