Chapter 7 Monologue 9 Year Old Caol Ila 2011 Scotch Whiskey

Distilled in 2011 at Caol Ila, this single-cask single malt comes from Islay. The distillery is known for subtler peat notes than its Islay neighbors, and this 9-year-old release is no different. It was bottled at 100.8-proof, letting its complex aromas shine.

The nose has complex aromas of tobacco, peat, rosemary, lemon zest, and vanilla. Citrus is balanced with smoked barley and brine on the bright palate. Finishes with lingering caramel and pear notes.
