The Cask 85 Pomace Spirit aged in Caol Ila barrels - 70cl - Case represents a unique meeting between two distinct worlds of distillation: that of the pomace, solid residue of winemaking, and that of Scotch whisky, specifically of Caol Ila, renowned for its smoky and peaty character. This brandy, presented in an elegantly packaged 70cl bottle, is the result of an innovative aging process which gives it exceptional complexity and aromatic depth.
Aged in barrels previously used to mature Caol Ila whisky, this spirit absorbs the distinctive characteristics of the wood and aromatic residues of the whisky, enriching itself with smoky and peaty notes that blend in a surprising way with the lighter and fruitier nuances typical of the spirit of pomace. The result is a highly balanced distillate, in which the Italian tradition of pomace brandy is enriched with new gustatory and olfactory dimensions thanks to the encounter with the Scottish tradition of whisky.
Visually, the brandy presents a color that can vary from light golden to intense golden, depending on the length of time it remains in the barrel and the interaction with the wood. On the nose, Cask 85 Pomace Spirit reveals a complex aromatic profile, where the original fruity notes intertwine with smoky accents, hints of peat and malt nuances, creating a unique and inviting bouquet.
On the palate, the brandy confirms its extraordinary complexity: the soft and round entry leaves room for a gustatory evolution in which the fruity notes combine harmoniously with the smoky and peated characters, in a perfect balance between sweetness and intensity. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste in which the smoky notes and a pleasant sensation of heat emerge again.
Ideal to be tasted neat, preferably at room temperature to fully appreciate its aromatic richness, Cask 85 Vinaccia Distillate is also perfect as a base for innovative cocktails or to accompany the end of a meal. Its presentation in a case also makes it a gift of great value for lovers of refined spirits and daring experiments.
