{"product_id":"caol-ila-12-tawny-port","title":"Caol Ila 12 - Tawny Port","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of trio of octave-finished Caol Ila casks, this 12-year-old release was matured in a first-fill tawny Port cask and limited to 63 bottles. Brown sugar, dried fruit and tangy sweetness meet medicinal peat, iodine and persistent coastal smoke. The cask adds rounded richness while lemon and brine keep the whisky lifted and recognisably Islay. Presented with the ruby Port and Madeira editions, it forms part of a direct cask comparison, showing how tawny Port develops a softer, more oxidative fruit character around the same distillery spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Opening with sweet aromas of mince pies and tangy cola cubes.
