This product is sold out

Caol Ila Distillery is the powerhouse of whisky-making on the Isles of Islay. We tamed its vibrant, peated spirit by filling it into opulent oak casks, previously used to mature rich, fruity Cognac.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Coastal, crisp apple, charred oak

Palate: Beach bonfire, oily citrus, ginger

Finish: Leathery, lingering salted caramel.

The slow-grown French oak, with its refined, silky tannins, has added sophistication to this Islay malt’s peated style and after three years in a Cognac cask, the results are magnifique.
