Description

Introduced in 2017 by independent bottler, Murray McDavid, the Aficionado range of whiskies feature a selection of the rarest single malts and grains in Scotland. They have been created from single cask samples which have been taken over the years and are the final drops of these whiskies which create something very special. Distilled at Caol Ila distillery on Islay in 1992, it has been laid down for over a decade in an oak cask before there was just 12 bottles produced at a strength of 60.2% abv.

Nose
Lemony citrus, peat smoke, and coastal notes with hints of sea water and oils. Underlying sweetness of caramelized sugar, almond, and vanilla, with a touch of wet wool and chalk.
Palate
Peat and coal smoke are prominent, accompanied by pepper, iodine, and lemon sweets. It has a medium, oily, and buttery mouthfeel with a distinct coastal and salty edge.
Finish
Long and lingering with peat and smoke, evolving into notes of lemon, almonds, mint, and ashes.
