The Distiller's Edition range of Diageo's Classic Malts series takes some of the most iconic whiskies in the brand's portfolio and reracks them into various other cask types for a short period of secondary maturation. We call this 'finishing' in the industry. This Caol Ila DE, for example, takes the flagship Caol Ila 12 year old and moves it over into ex-Moscatel wine barrels for about a year or so. The goal of the DE range is to enhance and compliment the flavours that already exist in the standard bottlings. Whether or not you think these expressions are an improvement on the original or not is up to you, but it's hard to argue with results; the end result is always delicious.

Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Wonderfully concentrated and clean, peaty, medicinal, with rich fruit, spicy and fragrant.
Palate: Sweet maltiness strike first, then overwhelmed by peat smoke, intense, crisp flavours, and cinnamon spice.

Only 60 bottles have come into Alberta and KWM has snagged 30 of them! This Oloroso Seco finished Clynelish has been bottled at 46%. My tasting note: "Nose: Orange notes, orange citrus, candied orange and dried orange peel; the waxy honeyed notes Clynelish is famous for come out with patience and some ginge spice; Palate: creamy and spicy with more candied orange, orange peel, dried ginger and thick-waxy-creamy-unpasteurized honey; the spices take over on the second sip with some dried fruits; Finish: coating, waxy and spicy fruits!"
