Nose
Caol Ila Moch presents an enticing aroma with a delicate balance of smoke and sweetness. The initial impression reveals a gentle waft of peat smoke, complemented by subtle hints of sea salt and brine. Citrus notes come forward, offering a zesty and refreshing character. Soft vanilla undertones add a touch of sweetness, contributing to a harmonious and inviting nose.
Palate
On the palate, Caol Ila Moch showcases a smooth and elegant flavour profile. The smoke emerges gracefully, mingling with maritime elements that evoke the essence of the sea. The peat influence is more restrained compared to other Caol Ila expressions, allowing flavours of citrus fruits to take centre stage. Lemon zest and juicy oranges provide a lively and vibrant sensation, while a gentle underlying sweetness adds depth and complexity. The palate strikes a delightful balance between smokiness, fruitiness, and a subtle maltiness.
Finish
The finish of Caol Ila Moch is satisfying and lingering. The smoke gently fades, leaving behind traces of sea salt and a touch of ash. The citrus flavours continue to dance on the palate, gradually giving way to a subtle sweetness that lingers until the very end. The finish is harmonious and smooth, inviting you to savour the nuances of this delightful whisky.
