- Description
- Bottled at cask strength 60.6% in October 2022, this 11-year-old Caol Ila finished in ex-sherry butt combines the distillery's signature maritime peat with sherry-cask richness and complexity. The nose develops milk chocolate, vanilla, and creamy notes alongside beachside bonfires and green apple. On the palate, burning pine needles, chocolate, strawberry notes, and tar mingle with the sherry influence, creating layers that persist through a long, smoky finish. A high-proof dram for experienced whisky drinkers seeking sherry-influenced Islay with serious depth.
