Caol Ila 11 year old Ambrosial Feast (Diageo Special Releases 2024), 57.3%

Unpeated Caol Ila returns with a clean, fruity nose of melon, dragon fruit, and sticky tree buds in spring, with a vinous note like that of Californian chardonnay. The palate is creamy and fruity, with star fruit, apple, pear, and a hint of grapefruit, supported by pepper, anise, vanilla, cashew, and peanut. It delivers greater fruitiness as it dilutes, with notes of ripening green fruit on the finish.
