SALTIRE CAOL ILA 17YO

This dram has a light straw colour. The nose begins slightly vegetal with marinated olives, then turns to candle wax framed by hickory smoked bacon and fresh mint tea. With time, the peat-influenced aromas become stronger in stages while the mint tea develops into a sweet citrus note.

The taste evokes images of wet, sizzling logs absorbing a mild early morning rain. Then comes a burst of chimney smoke. A long and lasting finish. Water makes this dram aromatic, ashy and creamy.
