- Description
- Caol Ila's signature maritime peat comes through in this 11-year-old expression, matured in three refill hogsheads from 2010 to 2022 and bottled as The Eclipse by James Eadie. The whisky balances Islay's classic smoke and brine with developing fruit and subtle sweetness from its extended aging. It suits peat enthusiasts who appreciate restraint and complexity over aggressive phenol.
