Молодой торфяной Islay без указания возраста: лёгкий дым, солёно-морской профиль, сладость и цитрус, мягче и слаще стандартного 12-летнего. Опытные ставят стабильные 82–85, споря лишь о том, стоит ли он денег рядом с 12-летним.
развернуть подробно
В аромате — лёгкий торфяной дым, йод, мёд, ваниль и маслянистость, с обилием свежих и печёных фруктов (персики, яблочный пирог, красные ягоды) и морскими нотами соли, устриц, водорослей и минеральности. Вкус мягкий и сладкий: солёная карамель, мёд, белый и чёрный перец, зола, какао и цитрус при чуть маслянистой, лёгкой текстуре; послевкусие у одних короткое и простое, у других — долгое, солёное, с копчёным мясом и сильным жжением. Хвалят доступность, свежесть и морской характер, особенно за цену около 30–45 евро; критикуют короткое послевкусие, простоту и то, что аромат обещает больше, чем даёт вкус. Опытные ревьюеры единодушны и сдержанны: оценки плотно лежат в диапазоне 80–89, а главный спор — ценностный: часть считает это лучшим выбором в своей ценовой категории, более сложным и фруктовым, чем 12-летний, тогда как другие не видят смысла брать просто более молодую версию при том же ценнике. Менее опытные оценивают шире и полярнее — от восторженных 88 и сравнений с Lagavulin 16 до разочарованных 65, где дым называют плохо интегрированным и менее приятным, чем у более дешёвого 12-летнего. При общей согласованности вокруг «крепкой средней» отметки расхождение сводится к тому, воспринимать ли молодость и лёгкость как достоинство или как недостаток.

One of the best whiskies in this price category. More complex and more fruity than the standard 12-year-old. At the same price, this one is the better choice in my opinion.

Bright, straw color. The whisky is quite oily.
Нос 83 Light smoke. Spices. Delicate spice. White pepper. Generally light flavors. A lot of fruit. Both fresh and cooked. Allspice. Sweetness. Peaches. Cooked apples, but sweetened. Apple pie. Red fruits. Strawberries. A bit of ash in the background.
Вкус 84 Sweetness. Lots of salt. Salty caramel. Spices. White pepper. Ash. Smoke. Some oak. Cocoa. A heavily burned barrel. Traces of fresh orchard fruits. Citrus, but only subtly underneath. There is a slightly creamy texture.

Sorry, but why on earth should you buy this when there's the regular 12-year-old to be had at the same (or even at a lower) price? This is just younger, that's its only differentiating characteristic.
Нос 80 Yeah, but no. I mean, if you're into young, not-even-into-their-teens-yet peaters, you might dig this nose, but when there's older and better stuff (or quality NAS like the Laphroaig Quarter Cask) out there for the same price, why would you buy this?
Вкус 82 Yup, a tasty, lush-and-sweet (and young) CI. Simple, straightforward and tasty. Oysters, lemon juice, salt.
Финиш 82 See above. Nice enough, no complaints (except the price).

An avalanche of coarse salt, iodine, sea spray, kelp. Fresh lemon peel, an ounce of vanilla. Vaporous smoke, a very mineral, even metallic side. Shells stuck to the rock. Behind, a little liquid honey. In the mouth, honey and peat stand out, lemon, white pepper, oyster, bottarga, it's slightly acidic. A stony taste in the finish, quite long, sparkling, caramel, peat and coconut milk. It's a very maritime profile, I really like it, for a NAS at less than 45° it's really extraordinary. The nose is truly superb, the finish very pleasant, the palate a little lighter. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2020/05/caol-ila-moch.html

S 6 Let it breathe before nosing or the condensed flavour can bring wrong impressions. The palate is single-layered despite having the peat to add complexity. Not interesting. [71-77] Worth a try but not a bottle. N 23 sticky oil on metal plate upfront but quickly faded away. Citrus fruit, almost apple crumbles like. Saline with an extra pinch of sea salt. A whiff of boiled sweet mixed with peat smoke. P 25 Dry & mildly fruity (pineapple). Moderately peated. Mild peppery spices to support. Mildly burnt sandalwood smoke. F 22 Mid, dry finish. Lightly smoked meat.

Yes, he is cheaper than the 12 year old. But the 12 year old is also better for classes. Someone once said, "I can not afford to buy something cheap." That's probably true ...
Нос 80 Young and smoky. Campfire smoke. Some alcoholic freshness.
Вкус 70 The campfire turns into a peat fire. You can guess oak - there is not much. In addition, something metallic. Somehow it does not seem to be finished yet.
Финиш 70 In short, only smoke and alcohol.

The phenolic smoke points back to Islay's south coast. Since there is no cask strength, at least I can not imagine that, I'm typing on an Ardbeg TEN. The mildness would also fit. Good to drink, very uncomplicated, but also a bit boring. Blind tasted as part of an advent calendar action.

Cow stable peat style. Lemon and vanilla. Very nice nose, gentle and warm, but clean and fresh at the same time. Salty arival, turns sweeter. Thin Mouthfeel, but enough flavour with an ashy overlay. Pepper and ash in the finish.

Lots of lemon and a subtle floral note. For a Coal Ila "only" subtly smoky. Unfortunately very one-dimensional, in addition a few percent more volume would do him good.

A lighter touch smoother and sweeter peaty whisky .I get apple apricot with tones of mash potato on the nose. Tastes of caramel smoke and digestive biscuits with a long ginger smoky finish. Worth a place in my permanent collection.

It's not as good as I remembered it to be, especially on the palate, but still, it's an excellent entry level Islay, and a very good take on the distillery character. In a way it feels more "evident" than the 12, though less impactful, which is why I'll support Toffie76 in saying that it's the perfect dram to make your buddies discover the "clean & easy" side of Islay.

this Caol Ila benefits from water only in taste. The nose goes bad with water. In this it is nothing like "daybreak". 12yo is the better choice.

ApricotOne 83 26 mar 2016 10:22 am
Nose: smoke, more phenolic and in my opinion a bit different than the 12er. As soon as the smoke settles, the citrus presses through Taste: Again smoke and citrus, where is the oak? Finish: Thanks to its 43% Vol. But rather medium and strong Conclusion: A rather one-dimensional Caol Ila with really only a subtle touch of oak. Who loves this will be well served here. The Moch can not deny his youth, he shows this metallic youth recognizable in the departure, but not too problematic thanks to the smoke A Sinlge Malt whose price is performance io, yet he can not keep up with his older brother the 12er.

An easy-drinking and gentle dram that still retains some bite. It is not fancy and lacks development or complexity, but the combination of conifers and maritime notes is engaging. Quite different from the Caol Ila 12, as it is a lot less medicinal. It also recalls the Ardnamurchan AD, though the Moch is more herbal and less intense. It is a bit youthful but it doesn't bother me too much.
Нос 84 Dry, fresh, and maritime. Conifers, hay, seaweed, pear, mild woody smoke, oats, kippers, mild peanut, and white pepper. Underneath is a youthful barley sweetness, with olive oil and occasional notes of vanilla, menthol, and citrus. Medicinal notes are subtle.
Вкус 84 Saline with a little sweetness. Olive oil, charred wood, lime, and a dose of white pepper.
Финиш 85 Medium-long, dry, and oaky with a little spice, peat, and ash. Nice.

Despite its younger age, this NAS offers a quite balanced version of a peaty malt. Some fresh herbal and citrus notes are clear from the nose, alongside a breezy touch of saltiness, that makes the peat not so heavy nor earthy as one could expect. The smoky profile is not overwhelming while the alcohol bites a bit, even if the abv is only at 43. The opening barbecue fragrancy slowly disappears, at first tinged in fine herbs and citrus but ending up in a not fully pleasant metallic feeling. It seems like Caol Ila is pushing it on the market lately, for understandable reasons, and also at an affordable price, but while it’s not bad at all, the 12 y.o. still remains a couple of steps above this one.

It's all medium, nod bad, nod very good but okay. The problem for me with this one is that it does not speak to me. Everytime I see the bottle I wonder what it tasted like exactly? While with the standard 12yr I can remember it vividly. It doesn't make any impression on me. I have to say, the more the botle got empty, the better it got. Less power punch, more sweetish and easy. I would advise not more than 2-4 drops of watter and let is rest a while before you stick your nose in it. I give it a deserved 82 but that's based on the end of the bottle... I prefer the standard 12yo above the Moch for sure!

Caol Ila Moch *Age statement: NAS. *Alcohol percentage at least 46%: no, 43%. *Amount of filtration: unstated, but assumed. *Use of caramel coloring {E150a}: unstated, but germans claim there’s farbstoff in this. (0 out of 4, regarding craft/integrity presentation and communication). Without water Nose/olfaction: sweet, smoky, mossy. Palate/gustation: marijuana, citrus. Finish/coda: lemon peel. With water Nose/olfaction: N/A Palate/gustation: N/A Finish/coda: N/A I’ve drunk this in a chess bar, which isn’t the best place to analyze a dram. Nonetheless, do I feel certain that this was an underwhelming dram when placed in comparison to other Islay whiskies. This whisky embodies enshittification, where it was posited to replace the fifteen year because of supply chain issues, and instead looking at flavor over age, this now appears far too young for the price and the presentation is awful.

EYES: Fino plus. Slow tears. NOSE: Clearly salty. Molten butter. Sweetness of sultanas, fresh apple. Tiny pinch of alcohol in the nose. After a while, fresh dough with sea salt. Creamy. Peat. MOUTH: Fierce. Nose-warming. Ripe banana and ham. Warm finish. Some distant white pepper and clove. Finish is dry and sticky. Light burn on the tongue. RESIDUE: Sweet bread. Very cool NAS. Much better than expected.

Sea water, sea weed, see breeze, which tiny lemon and malt sugar, nice but bland. Btw it’s a nice wee dram to drink chilled

Youngest Caol Ila I had. First feel was kinda new-make, but that changed in a seconds, very pleasantly. Starting with sweet, softly smoked. More smoky on nose than on taste. Fluent taste palate, where I can recognize rasberries, hints of chocolate and little bit of not very aromatic apples. For me very good, better than 12yo. Great proof that age is not everything.

https://www.maltwhisky.de/caol-ila-moch/ Our conclusion: The Caol Ila Moch is an excellent whisky and at the same time proof that Islay-Malts can be really good even without age. Smoke, peat, ash and sea salt are finely interwoven to give a whisky that is very enjoyable. Also for beginners highly recommended. For 35 to 40 euros a clear buy recommendation!
