Caol Ila 2014

Benchmark Spring 2025

Founded in 1846, Caol Ila Distillery consistently produces a potent Islay single malt that displays bold, zesty vibrancy – a peat-lover’s dream. The ethereal smoky spirit that flows from its tall copper stills is ideal for further interesting and innovative maturation, making it a true favourite of our Whisky Creations Team.

“The unexpected marriage of lush influences from the world-famous Italian Amarone wine and sweet Spanish Sherry casks have combined to produce a robust, elegant and original dram; a playful balance of smoky spirit and fruity oak that seduces the nose and dances on the tongue – this is Inspired Scotch Whisky!”

Nose: floral hickory, salted apricots, plum
Palate: grilled berries, smoky apple, tamarind
Finish: gentle orchard fruits, warm embers
