The Whisky Collective Caol Ila 7 Years 2013 Series 4 stands out for its captivating combination of tradition and unique character, the result of expert craftsmanship on the island of Islay, Scotland. This whisky, bottled after 7 years of aging, reveals surprising nuances to the palate and nose.

On the nose, it offers an inviting blend of smoky aromas, typical of Islay peat, briny accents, and a slight note of citrus, particularly lemon and orange peel, which lend an unexpected freshness. On the palate, the entry is vigorous yet balanced, with notes of dark chocolate and a persistence of smoky tones that blend with subtle traces of vanilla and caramel, a legacy of the oak barrels in which the whisky matures.

This Caol Ila 7 Years is a limited expression of Series 4, making it a collectible piece for whisky enthusiasts and an excellent choice for those wishing to explore the complexities of a single Islay malt in its young yet remarkably mature flavor form. Ideally, it is enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to enhance its multiple nuances.
