About

This Islay 2008 CA is an intense and complex single malt from one of Scotland's most characterful whisky regions. Bottled by Cadenhead's at cask strength (54.8% ABV), this expression reveals the full potential of its distillery with remarkable viscosity and a rich bouquet. It's a whisky for enthusiasts who appreciate unfiltered, authentic bottlings. The nose opens with maritime peat smoke, tobacco leaves, and sweet vanilla with hints of crème brûlée. The palate delivers layered complexity: smoke returns alongside citrus fruitiness, honey sweetness, and a subtle peppery warmth. The finish is long and spicy, with black peppercorns and a whisper of tangerine that fades gracefully.
