Caol Ila 2010/2023 - 12 Year Old Hector's Sound of Islay Wine Barrique No. 318156 Cask Noir (Brave New Spirits)

Nosing: A roaring bonfire on a Scottish coast, hot caramel sauce, and honey-sweet oat cookies rise from your glass. Accompanied by spicy meat and baked potatoes.

Palate: Intense and dramatic, the strong peat smoke, maritime notes, and salted caramel emerge. Slowly, honey-glazed cereals, juicy grilled meat, and salty wedges join in.

Finish: Smoky notes and toffee linger long.

Seize your opportunity to taste this delicious single malt whisky from the Scottish island of Islay. The island is part of the Inner Hebrides and is known for its heavy, maritime, and peaty whiskies. This Caol Ila perfectly represents the smoky style of the island.

How the whisky is made

This delicious whisky is made from malted barley and water. Since the barley was dried over peat, this Caol Ila carries a beautiful smoke. The explosive 56% ABV brings the flavors to life.

This whisky was not artificially enhanced. The natural color came solely from the cask maturation. The whisky was distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2023, resulting in a solid 12 years of aging. The long contact with the wood is what gives Caol Ila such versatile aromas.

This Islay whisky was selected and bottled by the independent bottler Brave New Spirits. Here you have perhaps a more honest answer to what Caol Ila whisky truly represents. As it is a single cask bottling, the number of bottles is limited. There are only 311 bottles of this release. With such a small quantity, you should act quickly. Cask number 318156 offers a completely different perspective on Caol Ila compared to the standard releases.

How to enjoy the whisky properly

The aromas are best appreciated when you enjoy the whisky neat. However, with this high alcohol content, you can also dilute it with some water. This changes the flavor of the whisky. Dare to try! The Caol Ila rewards you with many exciting aromas. Now it's your turn: Order this delicious drop to your home and lean back for beautiful moments of enjoyment.

Caol Ila (Islė, Šiaurės pakrantė)
