Caol Ila 2014

Benchmark Spring 2023

The Caol Ila Distillery is a whisky powerhouse, producing a potent Islay single malt that displays youth and vibrancy – a peat-lover’s dream. Our Head of Whisky Creations, Dean Jode, has tamed this boisterous young malt by filling it into freshly emptied Tokaji wine barriques to give it elegance, grace and sophistication.

“Nurtured for two years in luxurious, sweet Tokaji wine casks, this potent Islay malt has integrated beautifully with the delicacies of the exotic Hungarian desert wine, bestowing a sumptuous mouthfeel and captivatingly complex flavour – a stunning example of opposites attracting – excellence in the Art of Maturation.”
