2009

About

Caol Ila 2009 is a classic Islay single malt that balances the distillery's signature smoky character with surprisingly fruity and sweet undertones. This whisky's profile is dominated by nutty notes—particularly cashews and walnut skins—with a drying, tannic structure characteristic of this vintage. The nose is understated and fruity with jammy tones, while the palate delivers a pleasant blend of sweet, salty, and coastal notes with subtle minerality. The finish is the most smoky and ashy phase, with peppery and meaty elements that evolve into a long, beautiful finish where sherry and smoke intertwine beautifully.
