Caol Ila 2014
Benchmark Islay Exclusive Release 2026
Caol Ila Distillery, on the northeast coast of the Isle of Islay, produces a robust single malt that oozes luscious, oily, smoky richness – a peat-lover’s dream. Our team filled this hearty spirit into a first-fill Madeira barrique from our partners, Justino’s, the celebrated vintners on the island of Madeira.
“During its final five years in a scrumptious Madeira barrique, the boisterous spirit of Caol Ila has been mellowed and refined by the influence of the sweet, fortified wine cask. The smoky Islay single malt glistens with a beautiful orangey-red blush, having evolved into an outstanding dram with rugged sophistication!”
