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: Fresh, sweet fruitiness of lemon zest and white grape, exotic (pink grapefruit and ripe mango). A particularly spicy, woody note hovers above. A drop of water dries out these aromas and introduces a pinch of white pepper.
Taste: Creamy, full texture with a sweet flavor. Fruity and malty behind that homemade rum caramel, exotic notes of spicy pineapple and green banana, made even more palatable by spicy, dry oak.
R: Deep amber with golden highlights. Nose: Notes of oak, cedar, sandalwood and candied fruit. Mouth: Silky. Notes of raisin and oak. Subtle reminiscences of ginger and cinnamon. Finish: Touch of nutmeg.
