This rare unpeated expression from Caol Ila, distilled in 1999 and matured for just 8 years in first-fill bourbon casks, reveals the distillery's lighter side beneath its famous peat heritage. Only 12,990 bottles were released as a 2008 Special Release, offering spice and fruit with notable power from the active wood. The first-fill bourbon cask imparts vanilla and grain sweetness without overwhelming the spirit's delicate character. A historical curiosity for those exploring Caol Ila's full range beyond its signature smoky reputation.
