    Caol Ila 8 Year Old 2014 - Benchmark (Murray McDavid)

    A relatively youthful peated single malt from Caol Ila, distilled in 2014 and finished in French oak barriques that previously held French red wine from Pomerol for two-and-a-half years. It was bottled by Murray McDavid in 2022 for the Benchmark series with an outturn of 1,399 bottles at a generous 50% ABV.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Red grape, orchard fruit, smouldering embers, and coastal sea breeze.

    Palate

    Burnt florals, flamed orange peel, golden syrup, and peat smoke.

    Finish

    Oily smoke, red apple, spicy oak, and aromatic smoke.
