TASTING NOTES - WILSON & MORGAN CAOL ILA 18 YEARS OLD

Nose

Composed and unhurried, with peat that builds gradually alongside iodine and coastal brine. Vanilla pod and warm cereals enrich the background, adding sweetness and depth.

Palate

Smooth and full-bodied, with rich vanilla, ripe banana, crisp apple, and a gentle thread of smokiness woven through malty, creamy notes. Liquorice adds a quietly satisfying savory edge.

Finish

Long and deeply fulfilling, with peat, petrichor, and iodine carrying the whisky to a clean, mineral close.

Overall, the Wilson & Morgan Caol Ila 18 is a bold and rich single malt, remarkably round and composed for its ABV. The peat is refined and well-measured, never overwhelming the other elements but always present. An expressive and captivating whisky that rewards attention.
