Caol Ila

Benchmark 2023

Caol Ila Distillery, on the northeast coast of the Isle of Islay, produces a robust single malt that displays luscious, oily smoke – a peat-lover’s dream. Our team filled this hearty spirit into a 1st fill Madeira barrique from our partners, Justino’s, the celebrated vintners on the island of Madeira.

“Having been nurtured for four years in this luscious cask, the smoky spirit has developed superb depth and character. This bold creation has been selected to be bottled and shared to be enjoyed amongst whisky lovers across the UK.”

Nose: smoky bacon, grilled strawberry, earthy
