- Description
- This Caol Ila was distilled in 2007 and finished for 26 months in first-fill oloroso sherry, bringing richness to Islay's characteristic smoke and brine. The sherry influence adds dried fruit, chocolate, and warming spice that complement rather than mask the coastal peat character. Cask strength at bottling preserves the full texture and complexity, suiting experienced drinkers who appreciate smoke with opulence.
