Tasting Notes

A true embodiment of Islay's rugged charm, this 13-year-old Caol Ila single malt whisky is a harmonious marriage of two distinct casks – a 2009 refill sherry hogshead and a 2010 first-fill sherry hogshead. Bottled at a robust 53% ABV, it unveils a symphony of flavors that transport you to the windswept shores of its birthplace. Expect a robust yet balanced profile, with smoky notes intertwined with hints of dried fruits, spices, and a subtle sweetness imparted by the sherry casks. Each sip is a journey through Islay's rich whisky heritage, showcasing the distillery's mastery in crafting drams that capture the island's essence. A true gem for peat lovers and whisky connoisseurs alike.
