The Caol Ila 11 Years Ambrosial Feast Special Release 2024 is an unexpected take on this iconic Islay distillery. Bottled at 57.3% ABV, this rare unpeated edition showcases the softer, lighter, and fruitier side of Caol Ila, offering a fascinating contrast to its typically smoky profile. This whisky is matured in a selection of refill casks, rejuvenated barrels, and rejuvenated ex-wine casks, combining American and European oak influences. These varied cask types bring depth and complexity, resulting in a nuanced whisky that surprises with its elegance and vibrant flavors. On the nose, Ambrosial Feast delivers aromas of fresh orchard fruits, citrus zest, and subtle floral hints, underscored by a whisper of creamy vanilla. The palate offers a delicate interplay of honeyed sweetness, juicy pear, and soft spice, with a light, oaky character. The finish is refined and lingers with fruity warmth and gentle oak tones. As part of the 2024 Special Releases, this is a must-try for whisky lovers seeking a distinctive expression of Caol Ila’s unpeated style. Enjoy neat to savor its layered complexity or with a drop of water to unveil its hidden depths.
