Caol Ila Elements Of Islay Cl 14 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
This bottling is a marriage of one 2015 American oak hogshead, two 2012 ex-oloroso sherry butts and one 2013 ex-oloroso sherry butt, all from the Caol Ila distillery. This limited edition whisky benefits from its sherry butt components which contribute plenty of fruit and richness.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with a coppery glow and a mahogany edge, glossy and inviting.
Nose
Bold peat smoke and sea air rise from the glass, edged with iodine and a salty tang. Oloroso-sherry richness unfurls—dates, figs and raisins entwined with toffee, cocoa and leather, touched by espresso. A bright lift of orange zest and polished oak completes the opulent maritime bouquet.
Palate
Silky coastal peat leads the palate, buoyed by sherry-rich fruit. Dried fig, date and raisin meet dark chocolate, orange zest and toasted almond, with vanilla-caramel from American oak. Full, warming and maritime, it lingers with iodine, sea-salt and a subtle spice.
Finish
Long, smoky finish with rich sherry warmth. Peat and sea-kissed smoke linger beside dark fruit—fig, raisin and walnut—while cocoa and orange zest drift in, finishing with a tinge of warm spice and a coastal, lingering sweetness.
