Distilled at Caol Ila in 2013 and matured for 13 years in a rejuvenated hogshead, this independently bottled Islay single malt showcases the distillery’s signature combination of coastal peat smoke, creamy sweetness and vibrant citrus. The rejuvenated cask adds fresh oak spice and vanilla without overwhelming the clean, energetic character of the spirit.
Bottled by Thompson Bros at a robust 54.9% ABV, only 212 bottles were produced. The whisky moves effortlessly between savoury green peppers, preserved citrus and maritime smoke before opening into banana custard, condensed milk and soft vanilla. Powerful yet remarkably agile, it delivers a lively, balanced style of Caol Ila that can be enjoyed neat or explored with a small amount of water.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Sliced jalapeño, fresh green pepper and guindilla chilli appear alongside pickled walnut and salty preserved lemon. Creamier notes of banana, vanilla custard and condensed milk follow, balancing the savoury opening with classic Caol Ila sweetness.
Palate
Bright, zesty and energetic, with glowing barbecue embers, smoked butter and freshly opened oyster shells. Coastal peat and maritime salinity are supported by a light, creamy texture and excellent balance.
Finish
Long, warming and spicy. Persistent smoke develops into botanical herbs, dry white vermouth and freshly cut wood, leaving a clean and satisfyingly dry conclusion.
