- Description
- This 2014 Caol Ila spent eight years maturing before a final stint in first-fill moscatel sherry octave brought honeyed sweetness to the distillery's signature peaty, briny character. Bottled at cask strength (56.5% ABV) with only 75 bottles released, it captures Islay's coastal intensity tempered by dark fruit complexity.
