Coal Ila Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky The Distillers Edition 2021
The Coal Ila limited edition 2021 Distillers Edition Islay Single Malt Whisky is a 2009 Caol Ila double-matured in ex-bodega Moscatel cask wood for a rich fruitiness and complex sweetness to enhance the smoky, fresh aromas and tastes of the regular release. Caol Ila Distillers Edition won Best Single Malt Scotch, Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2011. It also won International Wine and Spirit Competition Gold in 2008 and 2009 (Best in Class), Gold at the International Spirits Competition in 2009 and 2010, and Gold at Scotch Whisky Masters in 2010. The nose is concentrated pure, peaty and fresh-clean, with rich fruit; spicy and fragrant. On the palate sweetness and maltiness are overwhelmed by peat smoke and intense, clean, crisp flavours. Caol Ila’s signature smoky bonfires build. Overall, drying, in a balanced, complex, elegant development with cinnamon. The finish is long, rounded, robust and multi-layered.
