Caol Ila 14 Year Old - Four Corners of Scotland Collection
Caol Ila
Tasting Notes
Caol Ila's 14 Year Old expression from the Four Corners of Scotland Collection is a true embodiment of the bold and smoky character that Islay whiskies are renowned for. Initially a distillery exclusive, this limited-edition release was bottled at cask strength after spending 14 years maturing in a harmonious combination of refill and freshly charred hogshead casks. The marriage of these oak vessels has imbued the spirit with a rich, peaty essence, intertwined with notes of iodine, sea salt, and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of honey and vanilla. On the palate, the whisky delivers a robust and intense flavor profile, with layers of smoke, brine, and a lingering warmth that lingers on the tongue. This Caol Ila is a testament to the distillery's mastery of peat and a true celebration of the rugged and uncompromising spirit of Islay.
