Caol Ila 2012

Benchmark Spring 2024

The Caol Ila Distillery produces a potent Islay single malt that displays a bold and zesty vibrancy – a peat-lover’s dream. Our goal is to always create interesting drams that present exciting flavours, so we teamed up with famed brewers, Wild Beer Co. to create a style of Caol Ila never see before!

“The inventive crew at Wild Beer Co. borrowed our whisky casks to age their luscious Imperial Stout. Once emptied, we shipped the stout-ladened casks from Somerset to Speyside and filled them with peated Caol Ila for 18 months. This cask collaboration has resulted in a unique, fun and tasty dram – proper job!”
