- Description
- Caol Ila's 11-year maturation in first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead creates an striking marriage of Islay peat and sherry sweetness, with natural colour and no chill filtration revealing full complexity. Smoke and brine from the island distillery blend with dried fruit, chocolate, and warming spice from the sherry, delivering an unusual but harmonious balance. Bottled at 57.2% ABV with full intensity. A sophisticated choice for those seeking to bridge peat and sherry traditions.
