Caol Ila James Eadie Single Palo Cortado Cask #362139 Whisky (UK Exclusive) 13 Year Old · 2008 Vintage
Out of stock
Only 321 bottlings are available of this UK exclusive. After maturing in European Oak for thirteen years, the Whisky was finished in a first fill Palo Cortado Hogshead for five months. You get the classic peaty, coastal aromas you expect from an Islay Whisky, accompanied by dried herbs. The sherry influence is apparent on the palate with rich dark fruits and raisins. This is accompanied by briney notes with a hint of oak. The rich fruits linger on the finish, followed by heather honey, spiced bread and a hint of sea salt.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with burnished copper highlights and a dusky mahogany edge, a warm, honeyed glow that hints at sherry maturation.
Nose
Peat smoke and coastal brine rise with drying herbs and sea-salt accents. Subtle oak adds a soft, nutty warmth, while a delicate Palo Cortado sherry thread hints at dried fruits and raisins, giving the aroma a refined, sun-warmed sweetness.
Palate
Sherry-tinged and richly fruity, this Caol Ila delivers dark fruits and raisins that linger, while briny sea salt and a hint of oak keep it balanced. The finish broadens into lingering fruit with hints of heather honey and spiced bread, ending on a coastal, sea-salted note.
Finish
Sherry-rich and coastal, the finish clings with dark fruits and raisins that linger long after the sip. Briny sea air and a hint of oak mingle with heather honey and spiced bread, fading to sea salt and a warm, maritime glow.
