A Distillers Edition bottling of Caol Ila Single Malt Scotch Whisky, distilled in 2002 and bottled in 2014.
Before bottling, this Caol Ila was given a finishing period in Moscatel casks to impart more rich sweetness to the smoky single malt.
As ever from Caol Ila, this Single Malt is an excellent example of the top-notch malts distilled on the Isle of Islay.
A nice helping of the classic Caol Ila smokiness remains at its core on this edition, although it's now complimented by flashes of white grape and dark sugar.
The Moscatel casks give this Caol Ila an extra depth of sweetness which is balanced out nicely.
