- Description
- Matured for 11 years in a single refill sherry butt and bottled at 58.2% in September 2021, this 2010 Caol Ila marries peat smoke with measured sherry influence rather than bold wine cask intervention. Refill cask maturation preserves the distillery's essential character while allowing subtle dried-fruit and wood spice development. The high strength and sherry finish create a richer texture than standard Caol Ila while maintaining the Islay maritime backbone. For those wanting Caol Ila's core character enhanced rather than transformed by cask influence.
