Caol Ila 6 Year Old 2016 (cask CI1623) - Hidden Spirits

Hidden Spirits' single cask Caol Ila from 2016 shows the distillery's signature saline, peated character refined through sherry oak maturation. Six years in wood have introduced ripe dark fruit and warming spice to the baseline Islay smoke and brine, creating textural contrast between peat and cask influence. Bottled at cask strength without chill filtration, the spirit retains full complexity and oiliness. Perfect for Islay enthusiasts seeking evidence of how sherry cask finishing can temper rather than overwhelm peat.
