Worth knowing
The Caol Ila Distiller's Edition is part of the Classic Malts of Scotland series, meaning that after the typical maturation period, the individual whiskies are aged for an additional six months in fine Moscatel sherry casks. Each bottle is marked with the vintage, bottling date, and batch number, serving as proof that it is a limited edition of a double-matured single malt vintage whisky.
Flavours
On the nose, it initially captivates with a strong medicinal note, accompanied by malt, fruit, and spice aromas that create an interesting contrast to the classic Caol Ila peat scent. On the palate, it is initially dominated by a wonderfully balanced interplay of sweetness and malt. As the noble whisky opens up, it reveals a fine peat scent with rich and complex malt, wood, cinnamon, deep sherry, and spicy cinnamon aromas that unfold on the palate. These aromas persist in the long-lasting, round, and smoky finish, maintaining a multi-layered blend. Overall, the Caol Ila Distiller's Edition is an exceptionally mild bottling, without lacking the typical smoke.

Wissenswertes
Beim Talisker Destillers Edition 2010/2020 handelt es sich um eine Premium Abfüllung der Talisker Destillerie. Im Jahr 2010 destilliert und 2020 bereit zum Verkaufen. Ein 10-jähriger Tropfen, welcher die Herzen aller Kenner höherschlagen lässt. Durch die Reifung in verschiedenen Fasssorten bietet dieser Single Malt ein facettenreiches Aromen Spektrum an.
Aromen
Dieser Single Malt hat viel mehr zu bieten als nur seine kräftige Seite zu zeigen. Ein eleganter und dennoch aufregender Genuss ist hier nicht zu umgehen. Eine angenehme Süße macht sich schon in der Nase breit. Im Geschmack kommen Noten von Sherry, Torf und Malz zum Vorschein, begleitet von einer leichten Süße. Das Finish hat sich im typischen Talisker Stil, mittellang und pfeffrig gehalten.
Worth knowing
Chill-filtered whiskeys are cooled down to about 5°C for bottling in order to remove suspended matter such as oils and fats, which occur in the form of flocculation and wood detachment, for aesthetic purposes. By omitting the cold filtration process, the suspended matter, which according to the current state of scientific knowledge can be classified as harmless, is retained as a flavour and aroma carrier, resulting in a more intense and complex aroma. In addition, a temporary slight cloudiness can set in, which is an indication of the gentle filtration. In addition, all whiskeys that are not cold-filtered are bottled with at least 46% alcohol by volume in order to avoid this cloudiness at room temperature.
Aromas
As with the vintage distillate from 2010, the Ben Nevis Un - Chillfiltered Collection 2013, with its rough character, also shows the origin from the Scottish West Highlands. After pouring, the whiskey rests golden yellow in the glass and immediately unfolds its mineral charm in combination with blueberry pie and icing sugar notes. Gradually, the nose reveals the finest oak and notes reminiscent of oven-fresh oatmeal biscuits. Already at the first sip, the single malt unfolds its full-bodied character on the palate. At first, it reveals sweet malt, milk chocolate and blood orange aromas, which are accompanied by a warm oak note. The taste experience is rounded off by a spice combination of white pepper and candied ginger. The long-lasting finish is interspersed with cappuchino, leather and fine liquorice notes, resulting in a multi-layered interplay of aromas.
Worth knowing
This powerful single malt is distilled in the very north of Islay's rugged coast. The proximity to the sea and the water from its own underground spring give it a character all of its own - a whisky like the landscape from which it comes!
Aroma
The typical Islay smoky peat notes on the nose are accompanied by a soft, diffuse fruity sweetness right from the start. Nevertheless, the smell is strikingly fresh and lively. Despite its considerable strength, the bolide virtually dances across the tongue, revealing sweet and sour flavours of fresh wild berries. A velvety, nutty-malty undertone joins in and brings the distinctive aromatics into balance. Finally, the sweetness tends towards vanilla and caramel. The remarkably long finish is woodier and spicier without losing sweetness and complexity.
