- Description
- Caol Ila's 2018 Fèis Ìle release combines European oak butts and refill American hogsheads to create a balanced Islay expression aged 10 years. Expect the distillery's signature briny, maritime character layered with gentle peat smoke and orchard notes from the mixed wood influence. The texture is medium-bodied with a lingering coastal finish. Selected by distillery manager Pierrick Guillaume and the final blend by retiring master blender Keith Law, this bottling captures a notable moment in Caol Ila's history.
