15-year-old

About

Caol Ila's 15-year-old is a beautifully balanced, full-bodied single malt that showcases the distillery's signature character at a welcoming 43% ABV. This classic expression maintains the oily, chewy nature of the new make spirit, with minimal oak influence allowing the whisky's core identity to shine through. The nose presents fresh citrus notes of candied lemon peel alongside roasted chestnut and frangipane tart aromas, with a hint of ashy bonfire smoke adding complexity. On the palate, the whisky develops into a more intense profile, blending mineral and saline elements with sweet stone fruits and honey. A touch of subtle peat emerges, leading to a bittersweet finish where minerals and grapefruit linger gracefully.
