Caol Isla

Caol Ila is a classic Islay single malt renowned for its smoky character and maritime influence. This 9-year-old expression from Fragrant Drops delivers a balanced interplay between peaty intensity and fruity complexity. The nose reveals citrus notes—lemon and green apple—alongside freshly laid tar and smoked stone fruit.

The palate unfolds with rich, marmalade-like sweetness that contrasts beautifully with burnt meat undertones and wood smoke. The finish is long and distinctly salty, a signature of this coastal distillery's character. A well-integrated young malt that showcases Islay's distinctive terroir.
