Gaelic for dawn, Moch is a lively, assertive and luminous Caol Ila. A smoky single malt from a secluded distillery on Scotland's most famous whisky island, Islay.
Nose : Mild, dry and slightly cooling. Top notes of lychees and mangosteens, backed by pineapple and melon. Beneath is a chalky mineral note lending dryness. Palate : A creamy-smooth texture evokes Clynelish’s familiar keynote waxiness. Starts lightly sweet and slightly sharp, with tropical fruit character. Finish : Medium to long, spicy and warming, with a lingering, freshly fruity aftertaste. With a dash of water, it becomes sweeter and lightly spicy.
Color: Golden with red highlights. Nose: Complex. Ripe pear aroma. Taste: Aromas of perfectly ripe pear, spicy orange and honey. Hints of oak and vanilla. Finish: Intense and persistent.
This bottling is dedicated to the Swiss physician, naturalist, humanist, polyhistorian and encyclopedist Conrad Gessner (1516-1565). In his book 'The History of Four Foot Beats and Serpents', Gessner described and drew the mythical animal Seawolf on page 580. The distillery's current logo is taken from Conrad Gessner's notes.
