- Description
- Caol Ila's characteristic peat smoke is captured fresh in this six-year-old single cask, distilled in 2010 and aged in refill sherry wood before bottling at cask strength in 2017. The sherry influence adds dried fruit and subtle sweetness to the distillery's maritime, medicinal character. Bottled without chill-filtration or colouring, this whisky preserves the raw intensity of young Islay spirit. Best enjoyed by peat enthusiasts who appreciate vigorous smoke balanced with cask complexity.
