Whisky Single Malt Caol Ila Bourbon Finish Proof 2014 Wilson & Morgan 70 cl

Description

History

Wilson & Morgan is a brand that was acquired in 1992 by Rossi & Rossi, an importer with extensive experience selecting luxury spirits and champagne. Wilson & Morgan offers a refined collection of rare whiskies, with an artisanal, typically Scottish character, aged in barrels that previously contained other spirits or fine wines such as rum, Marsala and port, thus enriching their sensorial notes.

Production method

The process begins with the malting of the barley, during which the starches present in the cereal are broken down into simple sugars suitable for alcoholic fermentation. This occurs in three phases: maceration of the barley in water, germination and drying. Subsequently, the barley is ground and added again with hot water, extracting the must which will be fermented and distilled. The final refinement, including the choice of the right wood, is fundamental for the sensations that the distillate will acquire.

Tasting notes

Amber yellow color. The nose is dark, smoky and full of tarry notes, with balsamic echoes: a touch of camphor and resin, probably from the wood, and the unmistakable maritime scent. The influence of the bourbon barrels reveals itself on the palate with a robust character and an enveloping texture, more than with simple sweetness or vanilla notes.

Usage

Perfect at the end of a meal or for meditation; particularly recommended for lovers of whiskey or smoky or intense flavors in general.
