Detailed Description
Taking its name from the Gaelic for ‘dawn’, Moch is a wonderful newcomer from Caol Ila and is a must-try for fans of this outstanding distillery. Lighter in style than the standard 12yo expression, Moch is a fantastic easy-drinking dram.Caol Ila Moch is the first single malt from the distillery to be selected entirely on the basis of its taste, rather than age, cask wood, strength or finish.The nose is creamy and lemony, before a silky-smooth medium-bodied palate that still packs a peaty punch. The finish is dry, sooty and very more-ish.The nose is creamy and lemony, before a silky-smooth medium-bodied palate that still packs a peaty punch. The finish is dry, sooty and very more-ish.
Caol Ila Moch Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Salty and briny with vanilla ice cream, lemon sherbet, pineapple, white pepper and a hint of smoke.
Palate: A creamy texture with buttery and toffeed notes added to the salinity and vanilla that were present on the nose.
Finish: The toffee and vanilla continue right through to the end, with a medium to long length, which is excellent for an ‘entry level’ whisky.
