Cl13 – Elements of Islay Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

50cl / 54.6% / Elixir Distillers – A spicy Caol Ila from Elixir Distillers’ Elements of Islay series, Cl13 is made with whiskies distilled in both 2010 and 2011, aged in a combination of hogsheads and sherry butts for over nine years. Aromas of barbecued pork, paprika, cracked black pepper and lime juice fill the nose alongside hot chocolate, caramelised hazelnuts and a hint of sea spray. The palate offers notes of green peppers, salt-and-pepper crisps, chocolate, freeze-dried raspberries and wood smoke that linger in the finish.
