Tasting Notes

This Caol Ila 12 Year Old whisky holds a special place, crafted exclusively for the Fèis Ìle 2017 festival. Distilled and matured at the iconic Islay distillery, it underwent a double maturation journey, first resting in traditional casks before embracing the rich flavors of amoroso sherry-seasoned wood. With a limited release of just 1,500 bottles, each one was meticulously selected by the skilled hands of distillery manager Eddie Thom. Bottled at cask strength, this dram promises to unveil the robust character and maritime essence that Caol Ila is renowned for, elevated by the sherry influence's luscious notes. A true gem that captures the spirit of Islay and the unique celebration of Fèis Ìle.
