The Distillers Edition series showcases exceptional whiskies that undergo double maturation in meticulously chosen wine-finished casks. This particular Caol Ila, part of the 2022 collection, features a smoky Islay single malt matured in American oak casks seasoned with moscatel, imparting a sweet complexity to its robust, coastal character. The aroma reveals waves of coastal peat, intertwined with damp ashes and delicate notes of dried apricot. On the palate, the full-flavoured smoke takes on a sweeter aspect, reminiscent of barbecue smoke, complemented by nuances of pepper and cinnamon. The finish is pleasantly smoky.
