Caol Ila 2018/2023 - 5 Year Old Justino's Madeira Cask Finish Benchmark (Murray McDavid)

Nosing: Enticing aroma of fried bacon, red apples, and spicy maple syrup.

Palate: Juicy fruits, intense smoke of a campfire, and aromatic spices join the notes from the nose.

Finish: Lingering impressions of salty smoke, a hint of pepper, and tart cranberries.

With the 5-year-old Caol Ila 2018/2023 Justino's Madeira Cask Finish Benchmark, you can taste a beautifully packaged single malt whisky from the famous island of Islay. This small island is a must-see for fans of peaty whiskies. The Caol Ila is a typical representative of this style.

About the production of this whisky

The whisky was made from malted barley and water. Since the barley was dried over peat, this Caol Ila carries delicious smoke. With explosive 51.5% ABV, the single malt whisky brings its flavor notes into your glass.

No caramel coloring was added. The intense color came completely naturally. You hold a 2018 vintage in your hands with this bottle. It was bottled in 2023. Thus, the aging period was only 5 years. This makes it somewhat unruly. However, this gives you the opportunity to capture more of the pure distillery character in your glass.

This whisky was not bottled by Caol Ila itself, but by the independent bottler Murray McDavid. Here is your chance to explore a new side of Caol Ila. There are at least 1803 bottles of this release. Nevertheless, it is not guaranteed that a Caol Ila lasts forever. So, better grab it directly.

How to experience maximum enjoyment

This single malt whisky is worth enjoying neat. But feel free to add a few drops of water to the whisky. It can handle that. You will be rewarded with entirely new impressions. Give your cozy evenings a delightful accent.

Caol Ila (Islė, Šiaurės pakrantė)

Vardas Caol Ila kilęs iš škotų gaelių kalbos ir reiškia „Islės jūros sąsiauris“, kadangi distilerija įsikūrusi įlankoje netoli Port Askaig. Geriausias vaizdas į 1846 metais įkurtą distileriją atsiveria iš laivo, plaukiant per sąsiaurį. Modernios Caol Ila distilerijos įrangos dėka galima gaminti įvairiai dūminius malto viskius. Caol Ila malto viskis yra tikras multitalentas, tiek kaip originali distilerijos išpilstymo versija, tiek pas nepriklausomus išpilstytojus, taip pat kaip dūmų suteikiantis malto viskis mišiniuose, tokiuose kaip Johnnie Walker labai paklausus. Laimei, Caol Ila gamina gausybę viskio ir gali gerai patenkinti paklausą.
