Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: The Single Cask 70cl / 59.1%
We are big fans of the folks over at The Single Cask, not just because they are great people, but because they have bottled some exceptional whiskies to date, and this Caol Ila is definitely one of those.
This Caol Ila whisky was distilled in 2013 and matured in a single hogshead #311895. It was bottled 6 years later in 2020 at a cask strength of 59.1% and with a yield of just 313 bottles.
We can't get enough of indie bottlings of Caol Ila, there are some real gems out there at the moment.
