Tasting Notes

Caol Ila's 12 Year Old Fèis Ìle 2016 edition is a remarkable single malt that captures the essence of Islay's rugged spirit. Crafted with a harmonious blend of refill American oak hogsheads and European oak sherry butts, this whisky unveils a symphony of flavors. The peaty character, a signature of Caol Ila, is perfectly balanced with hints of sea salt, iodine, and a delicate touch of sherry richness. The cask strength bottling at 56.2% ABV delivers an intense yet smooth experience, revealing layers of complexity with every sip. This limited release of 1,500 bottles, complete with its original bag, is a true gem for whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike, offering an authentic taste of Islay's legendary distillery and the vibrant Fèis Ìle festival.
