- Description
- Caol Ila's 2010 vintage, matured for a decade in oloroso sherry butts and bottled uncoloured and unchillfiltered at 57.1% ABV, balances Islay's maritime character with rich wine influence. Peat smoke intertwines with dried fruit, dark honey, and hints of leather from the sherry casks, while the robust alcohol adds weight and warmth. Full-bodied and textured, the finish extends long with lingering smoke and sweetness. Ideal for those seeking Islay peat with serious sherry depth.
