Caol Ila 12 Year Old - Fèis Ìle 2016

Caol Ila's 2016 Fèis Ìle release matured in refill American oak hogsheads and European oak sherry butts for 12 years, then bottled at cask strength of 56.2% ABV in a limited 1,500-bottle run. The dual cask influence brings characteristic Caol Ila maritime smoke and brine alongside subtle sherry richness, while the higher ABV amplifies the spirit's natural intensity and complexity. The sherry oak adds warmth and subtle dried fruit notes that complement rather than overshadow the distillery's signature peated character. Essential for Islay aficionados seeking Caol Ila at full expression.
