TASTING NOTES - INFREQUENT FLYERS CAOL ILA 16YO

Nose

A very special type of herbal peat, rich in roasted aromatic herbs. Sticky toffee, praline, and bonfires. With a touch of leather, wet wood and ripe dark red berries. Sweetness is intense, of brown semi-burnt sugar. A multi-faceted, very rich aromatic experience.

Palate

Excellent intensity by a high ABV pushing tastes very high. Burnt caramel, a generous mix of sweet yet peppery spices, Christmas pudding, and the continuation of the herbal peat from the nose. Red berries compote with poached figs.

Finish

Long, resounding in the mouth. Spices, embers and dark berries. Sweet, with a truly unique type of herbal peat.

Infrequent Flyers Caol Ila 16yo is a true intense experience, played on a very particular, evocative type of peat that reminds of burnt herbs and embers. The fruit is vivid and ripe, between black and red, with sticky toffee and burnt sugar impressions, especially in the explosive palate. Excellent.
