Description

Darkness Caol Ila 12 Year Old is a captivating single malt Scotch whisky from the renowned Caol Ila Distillery, located on the Isle of Islay, Scotland. This expression is part of the esteemed Darkness series, which is celebrated for its deep and rich sherry cask influence. Aged for 12 years, this whisky undergoes a finishing period in specially selected Oloroso sherry octave casks, which enhance its complexity and impart a rich, dark color. The result is a harmonious blend of Caol Ila's distinctive maritime and smoky character with the luxurious sweetness of sherry.

Tasting Notes

NOSE:
The aroma is complex and inviting, featuring a beautiful balance of maritime notes and rich sherry influence. Initial scents of briny sea air and medicinal peat smoke are complemented by hints of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and a subtle sweetness from the sherry casks.

TASTE:
On the palate, Darkness Caol Ila 12 Year Old delivers a full-bodied and well-rounded flavor profile. The signature peat smoke of Caol Ila is prominent, intertwined with rich flavors of dried figs, raisins, and dark berries from the sherry finish. Mid-palate reveals layers of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and a touch of espresso, creating a complex and indulgent experience.

FINISH:
The finish is long and satisfying, characterized by lingering smoky peat, sweet sherry notes, and a gentle spiciness. Subtle hints of oak and a maritime salinity add depth, leaving a warm and memorable aftertaste.
