Caol Ila 11 YO - Ambrosial Feast Unpeated (Special Releases 2024), 57.3%

A whisky in the Diageo Special Releases 2024 Series. An unpeated Caol Ila, matured in a combination of refill an rejuvenated casks, including some ex-wine casks.

The Caol Ila 11 YO - Ambrosial Feast Unpeated (Special Releases 2024) goes on sale in Norway next week at NOK 1400 (18732901).

Nose: Intriguingly unique with mild notes of plasticine. Then honey, a soft green hint, and malty undertones.

Taste: Full-bodied with a light peppery kick (both white and black), subtle peat, toasted oak, and a touch of slightly burnt bread crust.

Finish: Medium long, offering a playful mix of strawberries rolled in soot, creamy milkshake, vanilla, fudge, and a hint of green herbs.

Comment: A dram with a quirky charm.

Score 86/100
