TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Caol Ila 25 Years presents an intense golden colour, with warm nuances that reflect its prolonged maturation in oak barrels. This deep and bright tone suggests the complexity that has developed over the years, inviting you to discover a perfect blend of wood and time.
NOSE: On the nose, the whisky opens with a sophisticated and well-balanced elegance. The peat, characteristic of Islay whiskies, is presented in a soft and refined way, without being dominant. Notes of ripe fruits, such as pears and apples, are intertwined with a saline touch reminiscent of the sea air that surrounds the island. As it goes deeper, delicate layers of aged wood, subtle spices and a slight aftertaste of dried herbs emerge, offering a complexity that invites further exploration.

TASTE: Upon tasting, Caol Ila 25 Years reveals a smooth and creamy texture, which runs through the palate with remarkable elegance. The smokiness, which in younger versions can be sharp, is here presented in a more nuanced way, leaving room for a delicate balance between the sweetness of dried fruits and a salty, almost oceanic touch. The richness of its flavour unfolds slowly, with a warm and enveloping sensation that grows in complexity. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a deep trace of wood, spices and a slight smoky aftertaste that lingers, inviting you to enjoy every sip.
