Caol Ila Berry Bros & Rudd The Auld And The Bold Single Cask #312219 Whisky 14 Year Old · 2011 Vintage

Perched near the shores of Port Askaig, Caol Ila Distillery gazes across the Sound of Islay toward the rugged Isle of Jura. Whilst proudly embodying many of the smoky notes typically associated with Islay whiskies, Caol Ila's spirit also has an elegant and fruity style, a result of a distillation process which retains fewer heavy phenols.

Aromas of sticky-sweet cola confectionery rise from the glass, entwined with dense red-fruit preserves and a hint of scorched caramel. The palate reveals Islay’s signature peat smoke, layered over indulgent, syrup-laden sweetness. Waves of jammy opulence and caramelised crust glide into a finish marked by lingering coastal smokiness.
