Exclusive to KWM - Only 48 bottles! 

Bottled at 55.2% from 5 Ex-Bourbon barrels filled in the mid 2000's. 

Producer Description: “Our eighth bottling from Caol Ila is a marriage of five bourbon barrels. Caol Ila is renowned for its light, flinty style, which adds elegance to the layers of smoke and strong coastal notes that are its trademark.”

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Classic coastal sea spray with an undercurrent of caramel and buttered popcorn. A background note of aniseed marries nicely with lime oil and thyme.

Palate: The texture is creamy and full with flavours of baked lemon and rock salt. The distillery’s flinty edge is on show and balances nicely with the flavour of delicate custard.

Finish: Juicy and long, with lemon oil and cloves coming through.”
