Single Malt
Scotland
1 Jan 2014
Sherry
This single malt from Caol Ila was distilled in 2014 and allowed to mature in bourbon barrels, before a 14 month finishing period in Cognac casks! A fabulous juxtaposition of fruity cask influence and coastal Islay peat – after six years, the whisky was independently bottled by Murray McDavid for its Benchmark collection.
Green apple, maritime breeze, boozy raisins, charred oak.
Smoky salinity, creamy vanilla, a good dose of oily citrus peel, hints of warming ginger.
Sweet vanilla caramel, toasted oak, salty, coastal minerality.
