Caol Ila Distillers Edition offers a refined twist on the classic Islay single malt. Distilled at the Caol Ila distillery on Scotland’s rugged east coast of Islay, this expression undergoes double maturation. After ageing in refill American oak casks, it finishes in rich Moscatel wine-seasoned barrels. This careful process imparts added depth and complexity while preserving the whisky’s maritime character.
On the nose, expect delicate smoke balanced by sweet fruit and soft floral notes. A gentle briny edge lingers. Hints of lemon zest and pear join subtle aromas of honeysuckle and dried herbs. The smoke never overpowers, but rather enhances the refined profile.
The palate opens with smooth, honeyed sweetness. Soft peat smoke wraps around flavours of apricot, orange peel and vanilla cream. Mid-palate, notes of salted caramel and roasted nuts emerge. A touch of white pepper adds a mild, warming spice. The Moscatel influence brings a juicy richness that complements the smoky core.
The finish is long, warming and elegant. Peat smoke and dried fruit mingle with a lasting maritime salinity. Hints of almond and oak echo on the tongue. It leaves a clean yet complex impression that invites further sips.
Bottled at 43% ABV, Caol Ila Distillers Edition is approachable but far from simple. The double maturation softens the whisky’s peated intensity without masking its Islay soul. It remains distinctly Caol Ila, but with added richness and polish.
This edition suits both seasoned Islay fans and those exploring smoky malts for the first time. Serve neat to appreciate its layered character, or with a drop of water to enhance its sweetness.
Caol Ila Distillers Edition stands as a testament to masterful finishing. It offers an elegant expression of smoke, sea and subtle wine-cask sophistication.
