Caol Ila 24yo 52.1% 700ml is a limited-edition single malt whisky from the renowned Caol Ila distillery, located on the picturesque island of Islay, Scotland. This special release commemorates the distillery's 175th anniversary, with only 3000 bottles available worldwide. Matured for an impressive 24 years in the largest distillery on Islay, this whisky is bottled at a robust 52.1% ABV, encapsulating the essence of its storied heritage. On the nose, this exquisite single malt greets you with rich fruits, balanced seamlessly by hints of peat and smoke. As you take in the aroma, you'll notice buttery pastry, rich campfire smoke, dewy herbs, and creamy vanilla, all intertwined with notes of heather honey and delicate peat. This aromatic profile evolves to reveal sea salt and baking spices throughout the palate. Upon tasting, the whisky offers a delectable sweetness, complemented by sea salt and spice, leading to a complex flavor profile that includes rich dried fruits, mangoes, and mild TCP, with subtle hints of limes and grapefruit. The palate also reveals milk chocolate, adding a layer of richness to the experience. The finish is long and satisfying, characterized by a harmonious blend of chocolate and smoke reminiscent of a smoldering beach bonfire. A nuanced brine and tea element lingers, with hints of ash and fruit, providing a memorable conclusion. Encased in a bespoke box, this whisky features an illustration of the Caol Ila puffer boat's journey to the mainland, illuminated by the early morning sunrise. This design symbolizes every sunrise Islay has witnessed since the opening of the east-facing Caol Ila distillery in 1846, making it a fitting tribute to the distillery's rich history and heritage. Overall, this is a sensational release from one of Scotland's best-loved distilleries, celebrating Caol Ila's enduring legacy in the world of single malt whisky.
