NEW Caol Ila Moch.

Caol Ila Moch Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the latest exciting addition to the Caol Ila family. It 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.

Moch which means Dawn in Gaelic is a a very appropriate name for this new whisky as the Caol Ila distillery sits on . Islay’s east coast and is the first distillery on the island to see the dawn, just as it is the first - shielded by Cnoc Dubh, the Black Hill behind the distillery - to receive the night as the sun sinks in the Atlantic on the far side of the island.

No age statement? Billy Stitchell, long-time distillery manager at Caol Ila, says: "Moch is selected for taste rather than age, and you’ll still find it every inch a Caol Ila. It’s a new departure for us, to have a whisky that’s not defined by age or strength or finish, but by taste, and it’s an exciting development, I think."

Nosing

With the nose :

Unreduced, clean and fresh like wet, salty sand after the tide has receded. Some smoke behind, as from an old bonfire. Adding a little water brings up more freshness.

with the mouth :

Medium bodied, elegant and smooth. Unreduced, sweet and salty with a balancing acidity, and fresh as a sea breeze. The trademark clean and smoky character of Caol Ila is here. Appetising. Adding water gives a smoother, softer, sweeter feel, still very maritime, with a nice texture. Sweetly drying overall.
