Description

A very rare bottling of Caol Ila, originally produced for sale at the distillery during Feis Ile, the Islay festival of Malt and Music, in 2013. Triple matured, this was bottled at cask strength after about 15 years in wood. For 12 years it rested in a combination of Refill Butts, Hogsheads and Barrels. The vatted whisky was then allowed to mature for several months in active hogshead casks to impart a spicy oaky note to the existing delicate Caol Ila smoke. Finally it was treated to a final gentle maturation in European oak.
