Caol Ila ElD Elements of Islay 55.2% 500ml information

The Caol Ila ELd Elements of Islay is a standout whisky with an ABV of 55.2% and a volume of 500ml. Crafted by Elixir Distillers, this whisky hails from the renowned Caol Ila distillery in the Islay region. Bottled in 2017, this expression results from blending various bourbon casks, all distilled in 2008, creating a complex and layered taste experience. Upon the first sip, the whisky reveals a vegetal and medicinal peatiness, reminiscent of antiseptic notes and iodine, along with a hint of smoke. This is beautifully balanced by sugary treats such as sugar candy, vanilla apples, and lemon confit. As the whisky evolves on the palate, it becomes richer, presenting aromatic herbs like oregano, blond tobacco, and cinnamon, with a touch of minerality. When diluted, the whisky gains weight in its lemon and menthol flavors. The peatiness becomes more controlled, developing a light chocolatey note while the herbs and spices, such as cinnamon and pepper, become more pronounced. The initial aroma is characterized by oyster shells and medicinal notes, with a burst of lemon juice. Sweet camphor and sea-spray complement this introduction. Sliced almonds, green apples, and white chocolate respond to the vanilla and a hint of cold stone. The peat is seamlessly integrated, respecting the youthful character of the aromatic profile. The finish is long and dominated by lemon notes (juice, confit). The smoky and aromatic herbs experience a resurgence, as do the apple and vanilla. A touch of charcoal, menthol, and pepper lingers in the mouth. Dilution allows the whisky to linger, with the peat becoming more iodized, rich in lemon and vanilla. The most vegetal elements remain on the palate. This whisky presents a particularly straightforward character, with the oyster shells and medicinal notes giving way to a coherent and smooth experience after dilution. The camphor and vanilla become more pronounced, making it an enjoyable and easy-to-drink whisky.
