+| ::: | Soft, smooth, clean and fresh, Caol Ila MOCH (in Gaelic, 'dawn') evokes the dawn of a new day, slowly prising Caol Ila from its slumbers and picking out the shoreline of its little wodded bay.|

+| ::: | Each expression of Caol Ila (say 'Cull Ee-la') reflects a special quality of the light at this remote distillery. Together they picture a day in its secret cove on the Sound of Islay, where a distillery has stood for more than a hundred and sixty years. Soft as the light of a new dawn, Caol Ila Moch opens on the palate to reveal all the life and fresh-faced new hope of a spring day, clearly reflecting a character of Caol Ila first seen in 1846. Here are scrubbed-clean aromas on the palate by a sweet, then salty, clarity and simplicity in what is a smooth, fresh expression of the classic "bonfire on the beach" tast of Caol Ila.|

+| ::: | The smoothness and fine balance of Caol Ila 12 year old suggests the rounded shapes of the stills, softly outlined in a cloudy day's first glimpse of the sun. Fresh and fruity, it is a classic expression of the Caol Ila character, first seen in 1846. Here are those spicy sea-air aromas and sweet smoky-dry flavours, elegantly expressed with a clarity and balance that come from perfect maturation. |

+  *Degré : 43%
+  *Note : Bon rapport qualité/prix (environ 35€ / 75cL), se trouve en grande surface facilement. Caractéristique d'Islay. Tourbé au nez, une attaque iodée au départ puis rapidement très épicé, avec un final tourbé et très légèrement fumé qui reste longtemps sur le palais. Très agréable.

+===== Douglas Laing's Rock Island =====
+==== Blended Malt Scotch Whisky ====
+Extraordinary character with maritime island qualities Including malts distilled on : Orkney, Arran, Islay, Jura.
+|  {{whisky:rock-island-blended-malt.jpg?300}}  ^Note du distilleur|
+| ::: | Step onto any of Scotland's whisky islands and you'll be struck by the apparent calm offered by island life... Delve a little deeper, though, and your heart will soar with the excitement and character of the distilleries that call these islands home. Rock island encapsulates the very best single malts distilled on these remarkable isles, rich with the flavours of the seas that surround them. |
+| ::: | Our non chill-filtered small batch rock island malt whisky is a marriage of some of Scotland's finest, most maritime and characterful aged single malts - including those distilled on the rightly esteemed islands of Islay, Jura, Arran, and Orkney. |
+| ::: | Douglas Laing's rock island is of course maritime in style and, like an oyster from deep beneath the ocean waves, it carries hidden delicacies inside... |
+| ::: | By marrying and expertly blending aged single malts together, we have created the ultimate maritime malt. Anticipate wave soaked rocks and a salty, oceanic freshness on the nose with sweet malt. Its complex palate carries soft ash with peat, a honey sweetness plus crushed sugar, juicy barley and late pepper. All that is neatly replicated on the long, moreish finish. |

+  *Note personnelle : Une attaque forte et épicée mếlant iode et tourbe dans un subtil équilibre poivrée. Un peu de fruit confit délicatement caché et un finish combinant le piquant de l'attaque avec une note douce sur le palais.
