Connoisseurs Choice 2005
from Caol Ila Distillery (cask strength)
Passion for single malt Scotch whisky has been at the heart of our family business for four generations. This range is an ever-changing collection of unique perspectives on distilleries’ own bottlings, non-chill-filtered single cask and small batch expressions bottled at cask strength — exceptional one-offs.
Nose
Wisps of smoke give way to reveal ripe apple with floral notes reminiscent of heather. An undertone of toffee develops with hints of juicy honeydew melon and creamy milk chocolate.
Taste
Dried fruit flavours combine with cured meats and give way to a soft toffee sweetness. Gentle nuances of smoke come to the fore, accompanied by tart orange peel and a hint of warming aniseed.
Finish
Medium-bodied with lingering smoke, clove spice and honey.
