- Description
- This Caol Ila from 2010, finished in a first-fill sherry hogshead and bottled at 11 years old by The Red Cask Co., marries Islay's signature smoke with dried fruit and wine influence. The sherry cask rounds the distillery's typical briny, medicinal character, adding layers of raisin and dark chocolate. At 243 bottles produced, it represents a thoughtful cask selection from an independent bottler. Best for drinkers seeking Caol Ila with sherry depth rather than pure peat expression.
