The Caol Ila Distillers Edition is a limited edition release that’s matured in American oak and finished in Moscatel wine casks.
Brilliantly clean and refined, it delivers a deep, sweet and smoky flavour profile that suggests the intense, saturated colours of late afternoon sunshine after a storm has passed. Its sweetness and maltiness strike first, then are quickly overwhelmed by peat smoke and intense, clean, crisp flavours.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with sunlit copper-gold highlights.
Nose
Bright, perfumed nose of honeyed malt, ripe orchard fruit and Muscatel grape, with a subtle vanilla fragrance. A whisper of peat smoke and coastal salt lends depth, hinting at Islay’s maritime character beneath a clean, refined sweetness.
Palate
Sweet malt leads the palate, then a bold wave of peat smoke rises, pairing with bright, crisp flavours. Moscatel cask influence threads a subtle, luscious sweetness beneath the smoke, finishing clean, long and refined.
Finish
Long and refined, the finish drapes sweet Moscatel fruit over waves of Caol Ila peat. The wine-cask sweetness lingers softly, while the smoke remains clean and crisp, tapering to a warm, malt-kissed fade.
