CAOL ILA 2011
10 Year Old Single Malts of Scotland Reserve Casks Parcel 7
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Elixir Distillers
This new Single Malts of Scotland Reserve Casks release comes from a batch of four ex-sherry butts from Caol Ila distillery, all aged for more than ten years. On the nose, there are plenty of bright, nostalgia-filled aromas including candyfloss by the seaside, fresh lavender and spun sugar. The palate delivers notes of indulgent caramel sauce, saltwater taffy and sugar coated hazelnuts, with a background of ashy smoke. A 2011 Caol Ila from independent bottler Elixir Distillers, matured in a batch of four ex-sherry butts and matured for a decade, before being bottled in 2021. Aromas of candyfloss on a seaside pier, fresh lavender, toasted crumpets, maple syrup and fresh basil fill the nose, complemented on the palate by notes of sticky caramel sauce, saltwater taffy, sugar-coated hazelnuts, ashy smoke, peppermint tea, blossom honey and plum jam throughout the palate.
