2008 TPWC 12y

About

Caol Ila's 2008 TPWC is a powerful, youthful single malt from Islay, bottled by Torsten Paul Whisky Company. This whisky's character is defined by Caol Ila's signature peaty character combined with the subtle influence of an Oloroso Octave finish. The result is a vivid, pure expression that captures the essence of Islay's maritime character. On the nose, this cask-strength spirit (57.7% ABV) reveals raw nuts, citrus notes, and sweet, green peat. The palate brings forth peaty flavours with hints of banana cream and a touch of diesel, complemented by the subtle sweetness imparted by the Oloroso finish. The finish is clean and lingering, with warm peat, a hint of lime, pepper, and briny notes characteristic of the island. This whisky pairs beautifully with strong cheeses, smoked meats, or as an after-dinner dram.
