- Description
- Caol Ila's signature maritime smoke is tempered by seven years in a first-fill Entre Deux Mers wine barrique, introducing bright acidity and stone fruit sweetness to the distillery's iodine-forward profile. The wine cask imparts a distinctive vinous texture while the Islay character persists in the finish. Bottled at cask strength by Fadandel, this suits those who appreciate Caol Ila's smoke softened by wine maturation.
